It is more fun criticizing

According to former Secy of Defense Robert McNamara, war is a complicated thing. Not that man are not rational but there are limits to rationality.
We see shifts in alliances: in the Iran Iraq war, contra, the Isis, Syria and most especially the Arab world where alliances shift like sands in the desert. Former allies become enemies. See the Afghan war where the Afghan rebels were used vs Russians, now fighting the Americans who recruited them or where once their allies.
Let us see also the Israel Palestinian border strife now. Most of the rhetoric Israelites and their US allies use vs Hamas is that why would you defend your state if 1600 rockets were fired vs your family. And yet, there were 700+ Palestinians, mostly children and women who were non combatants who were killed. It is no longer defense move but agression on the part of Israel. The argument that Israel also use is that Hamas has put missile launchers amidst schools in populated areas making many children and women as human shields. Yet there was this UN school were a number of children were killed. Israel claims that there was a rocket that exploded prematurely. Investigations showed though that there was no rocket sharpnels as claimed.
Who is telling the truth. Complicated really this war thing
