You're a regular Mother Theresa, aren't you?

Like Tacitus was saying, history and conflict go hand in hand. Without conflict, the world wouldn't be where it is today. What if the American Colonists never contested British rule? What if the South never seceded from the Union? Whether we like it or not, conflict is part of our nature as human beings, and it's extremely hard to avoid. We may want to avoid war at all costs, but the other side could desperately want it. If they strike first (Pearl Harbor, anybody?), what are we supposed to do, just sit there and go "Oh, you guys..." and concede?

Also, I'd prefer a Scrabble-off.
