I feel peace is good, but war can have it's advanatages at time. (in real life, i onlly think war is good when going against an evil, such as the Nazi's and Hitler, who btw was a vegitatian and for animal rights yet his own dog coward from him, then he tested cyanide pills on his dog). But, that's real life not Civ III, I make a distinction. Also with real life war, while I recognize that war has brought us many advances, such as computers, that doesn't justify the greatloss of life that occures in real war. So at least on the real world section of things, I feel war is never "good" but sometimes neccesary. In Civ III, If I want it and I can take it.... "Let loose the dogs of War."
