Defense Secretary Robert Gates delivered a sharp parting shot at European allies on Friday, saying NATO risks "collective military irrelevance" unless they bear more of the burden and boost military spending.
President Eisenhower over fifty years ago said, Peace will come when governments get out of the way; he also warned us, We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.
Perhaps, war will end when everyone becomes tired of paying for war. The prophesy in the Torah is that the lion will lie down with the lamb, meaning: the lion will remain a lion and the lamb will remain a lamb, but peace will dwell between them.
Milchama/War has the gematria of 120, the number of years promised to the human being. The Torah recounts how soldiers are exempt from war if they have recently built a home, planted a vineyard or married a wife. In addition, if one is frightened they need not fight.
The Cabala explains how the greatest war is with ones only animal nature that wants to dominant others and take their land or territory, subjecting them to the will of victor. With Moshiach will come peace, but to bring Moshiach forth we must practice peace first.
