War: Slow Death by Slums vs. War as Quick Death:
“Death by want, i.e., by metabolic inadequacies is much slower than by the sword or gun and causes much more anguish and pain than that of the swift hero’s death. Death by want imposed on many by the successful politicians’ warring only with laws and police guns, obscures the identity of their executioner from both the politician and the slow-dying victim.”
