War, at first, is the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.

    *War is primarily not about victory or defeat but about death and the infliction of death. It represents the total failure of the human spirit.*

    - Robert Fisk in *The Great War For Civilisation*
