AMANPOUR, CHRISTIANE : War, at its heart, is a paradox. We are all appalled by it but also entranced by it. War is devastating, but it also brings about huge social and medical inventions. War appeals to the worst of human strengths, but it inspires ideals and qualities that are rarely seen in peacetime. And, above all, war is what happens when the things that we want to live for are worth dying for. (Christiane Amanpour, British-Iranian journalist and television hostess, Born 1958)
