Once a war is declared and begins, it takes but weeks for the people of the aggressor to stop thinking of the war as justifiable and to begin to think of the hurt and loss to individuals and families, not only to their side, but also to the side of the attacked.
The aggressor combats this with propaganda depicting the attacked as wicked and in need of extermination.
All wars would end quicker if the people of the attacking country were assailed with stories and understanding of the loss and pain of the people of the attacked country as well as the stories of similar loss and pain of their own people.
If compassion is allowed an opportunity to surface, it will overcome hate.
