26 Jan 2007: I'm back, but, with a lot less hair!
How can reasonable individuals accept what is going on in this world. Even here in the USA we have:
.... Murder and assualts by a dangerous weapon. That weapon is "Freedom of the Press! Many military individuals are killed and or injured because the Media is so hatefull of their political opponents that they will tell the insurgents how our tactics and operations work. It will give the strong points and the weaknesses. When a new proceedure is implimented, it works for a short time; until the media starts to disect and promulgate explicit details. 'Freedom of the press' is a constitutional right but so is 'LIFE'. Causing the death of individuals, by using that right (using any 'right'), is STILL MURDER.
.... Politiics is like acting. People, who can fake any emotion, at any time to promote their agenda, float to the top. Just like someting from the bathroom. Stars make gross amounts of money. To earn this money, they MUST FAKE emotions and words. To make millions of dollars by faking, they must be very, very effective. Personally, I think that with all the hunger, suffering and deaths in this world, that someone's making millions shows that EVIL exist. Wealth has nothing to do with supperior inteligence, in fact, it usuall indicates selfishness, deceptions, etc...
.... If Armies can defeat evil, then why is there crime in every city. Armed might can provide security from groups trying to promulgate their will. It can never stop individuals from causing mayhem, deaths and injuries. That can only be stopped by every individual being observent and being the protector of their neighbor. Going back to the first comment above, the Media has told the insurgents that the USA will retreat (give up), if they continue to use car bombs, roadside IED (improlivised explosive devices), etc... I'll give you three guesses on how the insurgents will re-act. One individual, at a time, can defeat the mightest army of the world.
No sane individual favors WAR; just as no sane individual will let his neighbor be harmed or killed if there is any action that individual can take to help. Thank God there are many individuals who, knowing the dangers, still jump in to rescue those in peril. I enlisted into the US Army during the Vietnam War since my neighbor is still my neighbor, even if seperated by oceans. There were many instances when I could have died. But as you see, I didn't. There is no garrantee that those military individuals would not have died on the same day had they not gone to Iraq. Many people believe in reincarnation, many people believe in life-after death and many people believe in pre-destination. You may have a choice in how you die. But, the time is written in the Big Book. Not even billions of dollars can ward off death when your time come-up. Your wealth can influence you life, but when the 'Bullet with your name on it' is fired; that's all there is!
