Another analogy: After the Allies scored a victory in North Africa in 1943, nobody was saying, "Gee, we've hit them back, so let's be proportionate and stop here and see if Hitler wants to negotiate a peace.""

Your post raises the tough questions that come with war. Anyone who talks lightly about "going to war" must not understand the horrors and chaos that come along with it, and you laid those out clearly in your piece. Nothing is the same after the bombs start exploding and I am always thankful that we haven't seen a war on US soil since the Civil War which, as you noted, was a terrible time for America. A visit to Gettysburg will cement that into one's brain. Your piece is a sobering read for those willing to take the time to read it. And the tragedy happening today in Gaza and other places around the world are so sad. Peace, please! Let's find peace.
