I'm not a pacifist. wars of attrition, ones that cannot be won, are illegal according to Just War theory. i agree with that. a war is an act of horrid destruction, and can only be hoped to be in some way mitigated by its completion. I have long held that this war is unwinnable, and cannot be considered just.
