Well, when a certain section of town exists without doctors, indoor plumbing, regulation, or attention paid to it by the city, and Cholera breaks out, often the only solution is to burn it down. At that moment it is the only real solution. The question is how many bad decisions, no decisions or wrong decisions took place before Fort Sumter? Before Hitler invaded Poland, Belgium, and France? A lot. So, when push comes to shove, War is the best solution. But your point is well taken. Thanks for sharing it here!
