War entails devastation and immense loss of human life, ultimately no one gains, simply the humankind will be eliminated from the face of the earth including the leadership who perpetrates war. No one should take anything as a prestige issue, because nothing lasts forever, this is the reality of life. Fear psychosis is a disease, which has no treatment as such. Every leadership should think in terms of the interests of its citizens, but the welfare of its citizens is intrinsically related to the welfare of its neighbours. In the perspective of global village every country is our neighbour, no matter the distance. What is the utility of such gain, when hands remain empty! By perpetrating war, the leadership thinks that it will gain everlasting support of its citizens then it is absolutely wrong. Its very citizens will throw the leadership out of power, when they finally realise that they had been unnecessarily dragged into the war and sounded the knell of their elimination. That leadership will gain a name, if it leaves behind a legacy of welfare and prosperity for its citizens. There are many invincible enemies like AIDS, MDR TB, Cancer, poverty, climate change, starvation, depletion of natural resources including fossil fuel etc are there to be fought, which could not be done individually by a nation. Every nation of the world including the USA and North Korea should identify its priorities. The theory of the survival of the fittest is no longer valid today!
