--It is not a simple right and wrong issue.
--Most of us dont deny the need for an effective police or military, be it national or international.
--Warriors love to fight , be it in a boxing ring, football field or in some case the defence forces and they like everyone else have their place in the world. No one denies their courage.
-- But often warriors and politicians get out of control. "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
-- Sept 11 could have been a trigger to attack, or it could have been a flashing light that something was horribly wrong in this world of ours.
-- I am horrified with the action of extremists/fanatics, be they muslim, christian or simple football hooligans.
--I sadly find the actions of the US and Israel as repulsive as the actions of any muslim extremist.
--Because the actions of the USA may have been unselfish and honourable during 1939 to 45 , it does not mean they are honourable now.
--Because the Jews were persecuted and murdered in their millions during 1939/45 ,it does not mean that they to cannot be guilty of similar crimes 50 years later.
--A peaceful and just solution needs the ingredients of very level headed and open minded people.Maybe just maybe so called "bad" people have to die -- but certainly not what is happening now.
-- Torture and depleted uranium --indescriminate bombing-- Lies upon lies. Our kids are watching this and we are supposed to be the good guys.
-- Peace activists may not be right, but we need to take on board what they are saying. -Vietnam should have told us that.
--Death, carnage, shattered lives --it is hard to glorify
