@Kathmandu @Jer @cstross @isaackuo War is one of the most irreversible bad decisions. Not only does it destroy a huge amount of what's irreplaceable very quickly, it can't be "called off" unilaterally by any of the participants, so even after everyone knows it was a bad decision, it grinds on and on and the good decision to stop doing it is held out of reach by uncontrollable events.
