War begets war
उत्तर
Mahatma Gandhi said, “If you are indictive and take an eye for an eye, the whole world will be blind”. Today most lethal weapons of mass destruction are being piled up in China, the USA, and North Korea, Russia, and Iran.

Peace has to be created by dialogues between countries. War always begets war.
