“Even the alleged benefits of war, so far as more than alleged, spring from the fact that conflict of peoples at least enforces intercourse between them and thus accidentally enables them to learn from one another, and thereby to expand their horizons. Travel, economic and commercial tendencies, have at present gone far to break down external barriers; to bring peoples and classes into closer and more perceptible connection with one another.” WarFactsClassBreakGoneEconomicConflictBenefitsSpringConnectionsTendenciesBarriersHorizonBreaking DownIntercourse Book:Democracy And Education Source: Democracy And Education

“Syria is a civil war. Syria began as a popular uprising, just like the other experiences in the Arab Spring, with a repressive government that responded by basically killing the protesters. It's not a genocide, it's a war, and there's a difference. Genocide is a preplanned attack on people because of who they are. This is a interstate conflict.” PeopleWarGovernmentDifferencesConflictSpringKillingCivil WarGenocideSyriaUprisingArab SpringInterstate Author:Susan Rice
