I am sure this will bring on the wrath of a few people, but, I will say it anyhow..you live too far away to come punch me in the nose anyhow.

I can't really imagine someone sitting around saying, "Hey, let's go start a war, and kill people, I think it is just what this world needs, and I don't have anything better to do but risk my life, my fellow countrymen's lives, and the opponents lives. What the heck, let's go to war!".

I think war is a necessary evil. It is premised on someone's belief system that something needs to be done to rectify, correct, or halt someone else's position. There has been much war in this world that was done because if SOMEONE didn't step up to the plate, another situation far worse would happen. So, we can argue that it country x 'shouldn't' be involved, that the US does it just to keep on top of someone else, that attacking these people won't change the status of this other country...whatever.

We all receive media that is SLANTED, and being an American, I have heard all the rhetoric that as an American, I am being brainwashed by the American government so as to be kept in the dark about what is 'really' going on in the world...but, I just can't believe it is only the Americans that are butting in where they don't belong, that Americans are the only ones that don't 'get' what is really going on, that we are the instigators of all that is evil. I guess the government has done a good job with me. I support the concept of war, I prefer to live here, I do enjoy the democractic way, and I am thankful for those that serve, protect, and defend (and look suh-weet in uniform....he he he..).
