not a review . . .

So I was going to put up a review, but i'm not finished yet ^^".

    On another note I was reading Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simmer, which has a great premise (what if Faerie went to war against modern humans?) which i felt could have been executed better, but it's not bad. And I was thinking about what war makes of people. As Ian and many other characters of fiction have said, they did "what needed to be done."
    I understand that in war bad decisions are made, where there is no good result, only a slightly less horrible one, And that sometimes you can't take the good road because your opponent/enemy is not above the horrors that humans can inflict on each other, let alone the environment.
But no matter what, one day the war will end. And the consequences of those choices will reverberate for generations to come.
If everyone who had to make these choices had to think about the responsibility that truly lay in their hands, the innocents they could cause pain and suffering for, often the people whom they are bound to protect, and the ultimate pointlessness of their actions, maybe they wouldn't always take such actions.

Then again many of the people who start wars probably don't possess the empathy or compassion required. And thus the rest of the world is forced to react accordingly in the belief that their decisions will save them. For now at least.
