A Good War Nietsche said, "You have heard that a good cause justifies any war, but I say unto you that a good war justifies any cause." A GOOD WAR NIETZSCHE SAID YOU HAVE HEARD THE GOOD CAUSE JUSTIFIES ANY WAR BUT I SAY UNTO YOU THAT A GOOD WAR JUSTIFIES ANY CAUSE
in the tale of ruin and wrong, the man who did it totters. His gaudy power begins to stream away like the leaves of autumn. Soon his throne will be bare, and I shall have but begun to say what I have to say of calamity in cathedral and little gardens of Arras. The winter of the Hohenzollerns will come; sceptre, uniforms, stars and courtiers all gone; still the world will not know half of the bitter wrongs of Arras. And spring will bring a new time and cover the trenches with green, and the pigeons will preen themselves on the shattered towers, and the lime-trees along the steps will grow taller and brighter, and happier men will sing in the streets untroubled by any War Lord; by then, perhaps, I may have told, to such as care to read, what such a war did in an ancient town, already romantic when romance was young, when war came suddenly without mercy, without pity, out of the north and east, on little houses, carved galleries, and gardens; churches, cathedrals and the jackdaws' nests.
