<<The first quote implies that war is the inevitable
result of a level of independence, maturity, beyond
the infant-parent state. That infantile state
exemplified by the regressive control of totalitarian
states. The second quote says that war results from
an infantile reaction to the complexities of group
existence.>>
Observing any war--but using recent, ongoing, and
horrific examples of brutality run amok like the
ethnic slaughter and carnage in Palestine or Kosevo or
Iraq--don't such statements as the above (more
accurately, the statements those above synopsize)
strike you as largely effete and wholly absurd?
