Someone HAS to, throw that, very first, PUNCH, to get this, shitty war started, and, does it matter who? And do we, even, C-A-R-E?
Not really, as we'd all, picked sides, because one of the group had been long-term suppressed by the other, and, we go and blame that, oppressor of the first "party", but, we don't think, if there are, any external forces (the bystander countries watching with their arms folded…), that had, caused this very first PUNCH to get thrown. As the punches were thrown, and we feel the need to, defend ourselves, to FIGHT for our own rights, to GET the rules of the land back to "we" the people…
Someone H-A-S, to throw that very first punch, and it really doesn't matter who it was that's done it, the very first caused a total CHAIN reaction, and, everybody is now, against everybody here.

If, we can all, take a step back, and cool ourselves, in those, individual corners (like in the boxing ring???), and just, take that deep breath in, to even out our own, breathing patterns, then, maybe, we won't let anger go to our heads, and continue to, hit back and forth, back and forth. But hey, we're all children here, and, we don't play nice with each other.
And so, this whole SHIT blows, O-U-T of control, and in the end, the result was, millions and billions of innocent CIVILIANS D-I-E, in these, downgraded "conflict" (we're not calling them "wars", because that's a HORSEMAN of the APOCALYPSE, isn't it???).
The party that threw that very first punch never gets, punished, instead, s/he/it escapes prosecution, and it'd done ITS job, to get everybody in their, heightened tensions, and nobody wins!
