NPR's Susan Stamberg talks with retired Major Gen. William Nash in the fourth part of her series on the meaing of peace. They discuss how war can be a means to peace. Nash says the intent of any war is more than just destruction -- the objective is to improve the world and make it a better place for all to live.
