Yes, such are the dangers of battles, of wars, of struggles that ultimately involve for the most part what Sen. Fulbright termed as "the arrogance of power" (Sir Teodoro has insights on this in his most recent column in the Business Mirror) - be it, as you said, within people and or between and among nations. Now I am not sure if your use of "he" for person is intentional but if it isn't, we know that the kinds of struggles you included here are ignorant of sex. If it is intentional, however, please do elaborate and consider me highly intrigued
