This is the Way Wars Get Started

The Israeli Army mistakenly killed three Egyptian soldiers the other day. This demonstrates the real problem with nations living on the brink all the time. It doesn't take an intentional act to start a war, just a mistake. We can take all the precautions one can think of to avoid accidents, but in the end, it often doesn't matter. It is the risk we take every day when living in a world such as ours. With everyone armed and ready to defend their rights(?) it only takes one slip for the whole thing to explode into conflict. It was the danger of the cold war, and it is even more so today with so many conflicts going on, and everyone's finger on the trigger.
