BOOK REVIEW: 'To End All Wars': All Wars Are Bad: The 'Great War' Was Senseless

If I could go back in time and prevent any historical action from happening, I would travel to Sarajevo, Bosnia -- then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire -- on June 28, 1914, and kill a Serbian national  named Gavrilo Princip before he killed Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, triggering what became known as the "Great War" and what we know of today as World War I. My view is shared to an extent by Scottish born historian Niall Ferguson, who is quoted in Adam Hochschild's  "To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 480 pages, maps, black and white photographs, notes, bibliography, index, $28.00) as saying the U.K.'s toll from its participation in the Great War was "the worst thing the people of my country have ever had to endure."  World War I exacted an horrific toll on the British Empire, including Australia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India, with at least 1 million deaths and many times more injuries from the weapons of mass destruction created and used in the war. Nobody knows the exact numbers, but more than 20 million people were killed in the conflict, with tens of millions more falling victim to the worldwide influenza pandemic, which Hochschild traces to American troops training in Kansas and shipped to Europe suffering from the flu. I would add that the entry of the U.S. into the war in April 1917, after recently re-elected President Woodrow Wilson campaigned on the slogan "He Kept Us Out of War," was a disaster for all concerned, since the Great War inexorably led to the much more deadly World War II, and our entry into a war that made no sense in the first place  made things much worse.  To those who bring up the U-Boat attacks by the Germans on neutral -- including American -- shipping, I would add something that Hochschild neglects to mention: the Germans took out ads in major U.S. daily newspapers warning of the dangers of traveling to Europe in a time of a war. German civilians were being starved by the Allied blockade, reduced to eating cats and dogs, so, possessed of the superior U-Boat technology, they weren't about to let the British and their allies -- including the Russians -- be resupplied with weapons of war and food from America.

By any standard examining the human species and its innate desire to kill each other, World War I stands out as one of history’s most senseless spasms of carnage, defying rational explanation. It resonates today, with seemingly permanent wars that exact a steady drip-drip of casualties, horrifying but paling in comparison to the thousands killed in a day in an event like the Battle of the Somme.

Anyway, if I do have it right, it seems to me that the AFL-CIO position (give people green cards instead of H1B visas) bridges the core concerns of members of Immigration Voice and the Programmers Guild. Whether or not everybody recognizes this is a different story, but it is good to know where the overlapping concern is, and hopefully in long term, get people talking about a solution that really does try to bridge the gap. In California have anyone explored a Duplex/Triplex market where 2 parties buy a multiplex togather they pay less money, get a good location and good school district. I have heard a lot of success stories, plus duplex is like 2 single family homes with yards/decks etc. 2 friends buy the property togather, you also get usual tax deduction and NO HOA like town homes... (if you pay 300/mo HOA you end up paying 108000 in 30 years). I think owning a multiplex for about 5 years then renting it out and getting a single family home makes a lot of sense for long term...what say! this is interesting: If I invoke AC21, and get a letter from a new employer, they can still ask me for a letter from old employer saying they intended to hire me?? The fact that they submitted a future employment letter with my 485 and did not revoke the approved I-140 for 6 months not enough to prove that the intent remained at the end of 6 months? Now; he way overreached in what he was asking for; if I didn't know these immigration laws then maybe someone would have gotten paystubs made or did fake tax returns, etc., and if USCiS officer suspected something and asked for certified IRS transcripts or called the company then he would have nailed me. Essentially; he was almost trying to get me to fake these things even though they are not required. proof for Kayani's involvement->How the entire episode could be Indian media's hype ->how the expectation to shed the inertia build up in Pak being a bit much->attributing the entire thing to hostile relationship btwn the 2 countries->How pakitanis think it's Taiban that's involved->Supposed Indian involvement in Pakistan destablization->non-state actors->How Masood and others should be rounded up->Etradition treaty uncertainity->screwing Dawood as he is past->Bihari thieves-> How Pakistanis should want to know who is trying to provoke India, and risking a war in the subcontinent, and why. 9/11->state->roaches->Paki state govt->don't know what else. So, what exactly bothering you, friend?
