The Stanford historian Ian Morris goes even further.
He evaluates the slaughter of the First and Second World Wars positively.
In the Washington Post of April 25, he published an article entitled,
“In the long run, wars make us safer and richer”.
In it he calculates that in the Stone Age, 10 to 20 percent of all people were killed by other humans.
The 100 million to 200 million victims of both World Wars, on the other hand,
only constituted 1 to 2 percent of the 10 billion people that lived on earth during the course of the century.
“War may well be the worst way imaginable to create larger, more peaceful societies,
but the depressing fact is that it is pretty much the only way”, he concludes.
If one looks at the latest edition of Spiegel, then it is only a question
of time before Mr. Morris can spew his fascistic filth, which like Hitler,
regards mass murder as a way to refine the human race, in the editorial columns of the German press.
