"War is
an armed conflict between the armed
forces of states,
or between governmental forces
and armed groups that are organized under a
certain command structure and have the
capacity to sustain military
operations, or
between such organized groups..
It is generally characterized by
widespread violence,
destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military
forces. War aims
typically involve the pursuit of political,
economic, or territorial objectives. Warfare refers
to the common activities and characteristics
of types of war, or of wars in general. Total
war is warfare
that is not restricted to purely legitimate
military targets,
and can result in massive civilian or
other non-combatant suffering
and casualties."
