Wars, these days are fought with tanks, assault rifles, rocket launchers, missiles and nuclear bombs. The solders are, simply a media for the application of these machines. In man's quest for superiority, he has created such bombs and machines that it could destroy this earth twenty times over. War that was fought on land and the sea expanded to the air and now it's the space. Death and destruction looms wherever we go. No country is safe.
Science is useful only if man is here. If mankind is wiped out, what is the use of science? People are therefore beginning to realize that science is for man and should not be against him. Politics and the misuse of science for useless benefits have made science into a monster, but with correct application humans can turn science around and make it work for his benefit.
Modern wars are more deadly and destructive than ancient ones. They wreak havoc in an alarmingly large scale. The loss of life and property is so huge that even the bloodiest wars. Defenses can and have been created against a lot of these methods, but we have no defense against the greatest of all threats, the nuclear bomb. It can wipe out cities and kill its entire population in a matter of seconds. so, the question we ought to ask is "Do we really want to fight a war which can destroy all that our forefathers have created over the centuries in a matter of seconds?" "what kind of a world are we going to hand over to our children?" "Do we have any right to let our children inherit blood, death, destruction and ruined economies because we were stupid enough to cause and participate in a nuclear war?"
If the answer to the question are "no", then it is time to act and change this world and pressurized our politicians that war benefits no one but peace and harmony make life easier and better and war is not the way to settle disputes. We would all be happier, more prosperous and
grateful to science and scientists.
