But if, if you take a look at what would have happened, I mean, do we need to see soup lines down the street to figure out what would have happened?

I had grown up in a humanist atmosphere, and war to me was never anything but horror, mutilation and senseless destruction, and I knew that many great and wise people felt the same way about it. ↗
