This is a statement. War is not a purpose to fulfill our own desires by taking other people’s lifes. War is not a question of economy. It’s a question of life and death that is not answered anymore because it grew to be ordinary. With all the dead we are leaving behind every day, with all the dead we leave in the streets every day, it is hard to believe that there is a difference between people and vultures.
