Ceasefire and War, fanaticism and all the ism.... civilization Part I

             War is politics with bloodshed, and "partisan politics" is war without bloodshed ( I read this slogan from the Manila Times in the late 60's. I donot remember the name of the author, who said it. But,what was said years ago, registered in my long term memory. It guided me in some of my decisions.

              War never benefits poor people,  the working class and "pay cheque to pay cheque people- like most of us.  Many people took for granted reading and understanding "our history". In each epoch, a large scale war happened. Most if not all of us, were not  around during World War I. Some of us were around during World War II. Other wars (small but has a huge impact) like Korean,Vietnam, Middle East (still lingering),the Gulf war, the war of 1898 and many other wars affected us directly or indirectly. Consequently, the world we live in today, still struggles from economic crisis to political instability. ( Donot forget the "war" between the "Indigenous" Americans and the Western Europeans, that subjugated many of us.Before the Mayflower and the James town colonies, North America was inhabited by the Native Americans; The Native Americans  has their own government, culture and "civilization". Many Western Europeans claimed, they civilized a lot of "nations". The Native Americans were "installed" in Indian reservations and many Western Europeans built their mansions in the metropolis. The Western Europeans called it, "civilization".
