There are few wars between good and evil: most are between one good and another good.
An army is a tool for violence, and there are two kinds of violence... Violence to control and oppress, and violence as a means of liberation. You know, what we call a national army, is fundamentally the former example. It's a pity, but history doesn't lie.

In the past, in country after country, the army itself evolved into a power structure, and came to control the people with violence.

In reality, it's dictatorship rather than democracy that drastically advances government reforms. But I think humanity ought to avoid being united by a dictatorship. While it's true Prince Lohengramm might have that talent, what about his descendants? His heir? Rulers aren't necessarily wise through generations... I don't think the entire human race should be ruled by a system where everything depends on one person's character.
People need societies, but they don't necessarily need nations.
If we dont plant seeds just because theyll wither someday
theres no chance that the grass will grow.
The "freedom not to get involved." It's perhaps the most valued freedom we have in this country.
