Some people think of war as the answer. My theory is that war is the ultimate multiplier of misery. The formula is simple - "A" does something evil, like gassing civilians. "B" punishes "A" by delivering high explosives via missile or bomb. Many more die, both military and civilian, because bombs and missiles are almost as indiscriminate killers as poison gas. "A", to prove his manhood, shouts "down with the evil empire" and gasses more civilians or even takes a poke at "B". Of course we know what happens next - "A" finds himself needing to double down on the bombs and missiles and the body count starts going up in geometric progression. Eventually one evil becomes many and that's why the mathematics of war is and always will be a multiplier of misery with illogic as it's only product.
