If you a student of military strategy or in a position to influence your country’s decision to go to war, I would highly recommend viewing the documentary: Fog of War. As former Defense Secretary Robert MacNamara points out, war is so complex that it is often impossible to understand and comprehend all the variables. Thus, if you cannot convince other nations with comparable values that your cause is just, you need to reexamine your reasons for wanting to go to war. You should never apply economic and military power unilaterally.
