How about the next time we wage a war, we do it because we have to. |
|
Not one we are lied into because it fits conveniently into some shadow group like the pnac's plans. Just a thought.

Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 10:02 PM by bonito
Let's all work together toward ending every reason for war. Lets feed the hungry, help the sick, lets find that life is good. and honor and thanks for all our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, that have sacrificed there lives here, and humbly stand on there shoulders, that one day we would find peace for Humanity. when that time comes we will all know god. It's within our reach. peace and Mothers and fathers there children we should nourish in love for there sacrifice.

9. RICO vs. AEI and the GOP and some more |
|
Lots of legislation to get fair elections, enforce separation of powers, curtail presidential power, and a lot more is needed.
RICO suits vs. AEI and the GOP would make a lot of sense at this point.

11. sounds familiar to me too |
|
I don't know where it was said. tomorrow I'm going to see about having the peace sign put on my forehead. my wife says I will have to live with this. But I feel I could live with this easer than having my children kill another human beaning, or loosing them. And as a reminder to my self if I should fall asleep in this world again what really is important.

first in war, first in peace, first in the heart of his country men That is the story of Washington That is the glory of Washington.....
like, the sound track from a disney classic????
i have a wierd brain... i could be way off-
but i agree- Peace is the only answer- not 'doing nothing' but not destroying people who don't agree with us, or we don't like, or that we fear= killing them won't change things in the long run- Any more than one partner in a relationship can 'fix' the other- it is in negotiation, understanding, and listening and being honest with ourselves, and the world, that hope lives.

War, killing to end killing just doesn't work- if it did, would war not be extinct???

16. war doesn't have any winners |
|
it doesn't answer the question of who is 'right'- it only has a chance of teaching those who are 'left' how ineffective killing to control is-
