给战争一个机会
过早的和解
一个经常被忽视的令人不快的事实是，尽管战争是一个大恶，但它确实有一个很大的优点：它可以解决政治冲突并导致和平。当所有交战方都筋疲力尽时，或者当一方取得决定性胜利时，就会发生这种情况。无论哪种情况，关键是战斗必须继续，直到达成决议。战争只有在经过暴力的高潮阶段后才能带来和平。军事成功的希望必须减弱，才能使和解比进一步的战斗更有吸引力。

PREMATURE PEACEMAKING
An unpleasant truth often overlooked is that although war is a great evil, it does have a great virtue: it can resolve political conflicts and lead to peace. This can happen when all belligerents become exhausted or when one wins decisively. Either way the key is that the fighting must continue until a resolution is reached. War brings peace only after passing a culminating phase of violence. Hopes of military success must fade for accommodation to become more attractive than further combat.
