It's said that every one of us is unique; that we all see the cosmos differently, and exist in it in our own way. Some of those differences are slight and some are vast; but different, and personal and one-of-a-kind. So in a very important way, every time somebody dies, an entire universe dies with them.
We should prob'ly keep that in mind when we're fixing to kill somebody; when we're sending people out to kill our "enemies".
Remembering that all those universes are connected and intertwined - one with all the others, without even knowing who those others are - we're asking those people to kill part of us, and part of themselves as well.
You don't have much of a war
if nobody shows up to fight

And on the continuing theme of personal responsibility - holding ourselves ultimately accountable for our own actions:

World War Something --Marc Wilson:
At some point, we have to start to wonder - what was all the fuss about? Politics? The color scheme of a flag? Imaginary lines on a paper map?
