I once saw a wasp get caught in a spider's web.  The spider quickly came out of his hole and started wrapping the wasp in webbing and biting it.  The wasp though was not helpless.  The wasp managed to sting the spider before it was completely wrapped up.  As a result, the spider died from the sting.  The wasp also died.  No winner.  
    War is often like that. No one really wins.  There are just different levels of loses.  Still, sometimes war is necessary.  But usually, it's not and both sides lose something.
