Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war

War is always glorified. Victories in war surround the warriors and conquerors with a halo of light. Churchill is famous because he brought to England victory in Second World War. Hitler’s too finds some pages in books of history because he won meteoric military victories over all Europe. One can’t imagine Stalin Mussolini, Eisenhower, Roosevelt without the context of war. Presidents, prime ministers and leaders enter the stage and exit it. Yet no one knows these leaders outside their countries, but the war blesses the chief heroes with universal fame. War highlights their doings and they remain in the limelight. When war ends, heroes come home Arches are erected, scented petals are showered, songs of victory are hummed, flags and banners are displayed, people dance in joy, trumpets are sounded and house tops tremble with the multitudes, All this s done to accord befitting welcome to the heroes of war.
