51. As long as we continue starting wars,
we will have occurrences like this.
Somehow, we must change our national, patriotic consciousness to one that supports peace and only uses our war machine when absolutely frickin' necessary.
We have all heard of how crowd mentality works in both fact and fiction. Groups of Humans, men or women, can not be relied upon to "do the right thing" without order and dicipline, it obviously broke down in these situations. After Vietnam I thought we were beyond these incursions overseas, but alas people tend to forget.
