Globalization of War

--- 2008-01-27 ---

Was World War II not, indeed, one other embodiment of globalization? The globalization of war? With everything of man going global, should we not view it as inevitable that war, too, would go global? How about the globalization of disease? Or the globalization of terrorism? Globalization is neither a cure nor a curse. It is a mixed bag. Along with the good that it may bring, travels also the stowaway of evil. Globalization is an unavoidable phenomenon, not an ideal to be strived towards, nor a great calamity to be avoided at all costs.
