MR VAN DER BERG
With all respect Chairperson, of course one can say the war came to an end.  If one party stops shooting, then the war is finished.  War means both parties are shooting at each other.  If one party says look the party is over, I am surrendering, I am lying on my stomach and I am giving my weapons to you, then the war is over.
	War implies both parties shooting, but if one party surrenders, then there can't be any war.
