609 The Law of War
The lyrics famously ask the question âWar...what's it good for?â and while there's no definitive answer to that another similar question might be âWar...WHO is it good for?â or perhaps more importantly, how can war cause as little turmoil and distress to non-combatant civilians and innocents? War is an inevitable part of our world, and is governed, or seeks to be governed by rules and laws. What are these and how did they come about? Dur: 13.20 File: .mp3...
