The tragedy is that it is impossible to feel that the immense toll of death and distress was in anything like a just cause.

You might find it impossible, but others do not.

In that I have no evidence that GB would ever have to gone to war on the continent without "someone else starting it" [simplistic beyond belief, but baldly true, as GB was not looking for lebensraum or further expansion], then the British war was "just". As France and Belgium were invaded beyond doubt, put them in the same boat.

Twice in my father's lifetime, there was a genuine chance that I would subsequently be speaking German rather better than I do now. I cannot accept that there is any doubt in the aggressed fighting a just war.
