DO WE HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER WAR

Perhaps a question might be spoken with more eloquence – Do we need war?  Pardon the grammar.  Please think about this: We pardon people for murder a crime; however, we turn our heads from genocide.  We tolerate uncompassionate rules from dictators, and we are appalled by the results.
People are building tunnels to the future instead of looking up.
I oppose every war, and say that there could have been a better solution.  If we had better solutions, we could be prepared better for our futures.  Nations need to defend themselves, but we need to ask ourselves about the cost of wars and why they happen.    For instance -- Our Korean conflict might have been staved off – or how could that happen? 
We cannot deny our pasts, only relive them.  Sometimes it is better to start fresh.  We hear little about the North Korean culture.  They are a retentive nation.  Coercion is their biggest import.  People who visit, North Korea usually remain there.  Their tasks are to multiply and make movies.  North Korea has beautiful mountain views and wild flowers.  My favorite flower is, Jack in the Pulpit.
Trixie and I moved to, North Korea Michigan after eloping, to raise our family in the countryside.  We adopted children.  We love our home for its hilltop position and panoramic views.
North Korea Michigan bears little resemblance to its namesake, other than harsh winters and bountiful wild flowers -- nothing else grows well there.  They are opposites.  One North Korea attracts few people, but it is usually by force, while North Korea Michigan exports people by intimidation.
North Korea has entire cities that are vacant because the sewer and water lines and utilities were never connected.  North Korea Michigan has generators to connect when common utilities frequently fail.  Toilets drain directly into the ground, while farmers pipe their poops along with cattle manure into fields; farming odoriferous scents that stimulate resident sinuses. 
North Koreans are independent.  The president of, Korea demands allegiance and so does our Michigan governor.  Both President and Governor say it is not their job to create jobs.  Both serve as plenipotentiaries, with a plan that includes minimum wage or no wages.  They both have an abundance of abandoned homes.
North Korea Michigan has a plethora of brush that could be used for firewood in North Korea.  It is a pity that both communities cannot meet.  Maybe our wars can end, when we understand the true nature of poverty.
