No one has made a case how things will be better after the war.

That case is impossible to make. War never makes things better. War brings death and destruction. War is in and of itself a failure. But the question that must be asked and answered is whether the reuslt of the war is better or worse than the result of continued appeasment.

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. "
