Regret is a terrible feeling to have. “I see omens of chaos, Krishna; I see no good in killing my kinsman in battle.” 1.31 Here Arjuna is feeling regret about starting a war with his family. “Honor forbids us to kill our cousins, Dhritarashtra’s sons” 1.37 we as human beings must have a lot of regret we have had wars for no reason, we have killed for no reason, and people have died in vain. Take for example the Vietnam War “Mr. McNamara's comment that "we were wrong, terribly wrong." The criticism has come from just about every quarter -- combat veterans, former colleagues in Government, hawks, doves, editorialists and, of course, the children of the 60's who took to the streets and to the grassy grounds outside Mr. McNamara's Pentagon window to noisily, sometimes violently, protest "McNamara's war." Ny Times “Belated Regrets About Vietnam Create a Consensus of Antipathy”
What always get in the way of regret is a person’s ego, a country’s ego they will not stop until they have won or been defeated and this is one of the world’s biggest problems all of the world’s leaders have their ego as high as any god, they think of themselves as one. The sacrifice the pawns and leave King and Queen protected. They always have an excuse it may well be weapons of mass destruction or the real reason oil, even though men and women are dying every day, and Bush has come to relies that between him and Nixon is the fight of the worst American president. Who will win? Who has the biggest Ego? Who is filled with more regret?
