I can see how people find opposing all wars as problematic, and see situations where they would organize mass killings of their enemies. Frankly, from an international law and human rights perspective, I think that it is impossible in practice to wage a lawful war. I see war is inextricably entwined with war crimes. However, what is beyond my moral comprehension is how anyone can condone genocide, and, practically speaking, any “probable” genocide. This poem captures this “conservative” anti-war sentiment of the ease of opposing all genocides — without any need to be anti-war in general.<\/p>\n
