If that's your goal.   If your goal is revenge, then this isn't a 
priority.   If your goal is to destroy the minions of Satan, then this 
isn't a priority.    If your goal is to simply cause the state to be 
repressive enough so that the people rebel - then this isn't a priority.

A war directed by gods may have inscrutable goals.
