Hi Priya, this is a great yet heartrending post. You said:
I still don't understand what is the purpose of this war except for people's suffering.
What is the purpose of any war? Other than to take from one group and give to another, to fulfill the greed of a man or a country, or even an misplaced ideal ?

I don't know, I still don't know, and probably after 2 years, I will get my answer...
I've been on this world for almost 67 yrs. I lost a brother in Vietnam, I was 9.
I naively thought that war was to help defend the S Vietnamese from the Northern/Communist aggression.
It was really just an exercise of the American Military Industrial Complex to develop new weapons and make some men rich, and for the Gov't to dupe the people once more.
Since that time, every conflict still boils down to the same things, at least to me.
That's what I am thinking lately... :(
