I amazes me the messages posted here by folks who are sitting comfortably in front of their screens, - never ever had any experience of war, or been on a battelfield in their lives and parrotting expressions and opionions that are clearly direct quotes of their own governments "opinion" for palitable comsumption or variations on them.

The amount of hatred and utter bigotry against other nations and peoples, whether "deserved" or not, is an indication of the mental level ability/education of those posting.

There are one handsome lot of warped weirdos around GFY, (I assume and kinda hoping they are "just kids"!), who clearly have no experience of life to call upon to offer comments and opinion.

There is a blantant denial of the facts of history (and also some unawareness of any geography!) especially when facts need bending to suit. We use the words "terrorism" as though this was just invented and cover up screwups with "shit happens" - the new expressions for that US military euphemism "collateral damage"? The significance of "shit happening" is devastating, but don't worry, - that won't punch back at ya thru your computer screen and blow you or your family away. You are safe in front of that screen to spout beliefs and opinions.

War is devastating to many - flippant comments like "nuke em" are not worthy of any man who actually is a person of credibility. This expression appears to originate in some warped US culture from folks who have been isolated from the real world too long and living in some "US Disneyland".

Both sides on many conflicts have done "evil" things - there are no clean hands and rarely is there anything for a nation to proclaim some "proudness" or "achievement".

May we all live the whole of our lives in peace.

Peace out!
