Assuming that change always involves a degree of dislocation and of social cost,
man's problem is then how to achieve maximum desirable change at minimum cost.
War at best has been a haphazard way of deciding this question, for the
impetus of war piles up the dead with little regard for social consequence, so that
even those wars fought against the most obvious of evils, such at the Civil War(with Negro slavery at stake)
and World War Ⅱ（with global slavery at stake), brought in the first case the uncontolled gushing of what
Edmund Wilson calls "patriotic gore" and in the second the needless bombings of Dresden and Hiroshima.
At its worst, war has been mass slaughter without even the saving grace of a definable social goal.
The Trojan War was the first and classic case, and that element of idiocy has persisted in all wars in varying degree.
