we have come to a point of total destruction we have seen the begining of the end of mankind.
We're not even near it. We've been much closer in history. If you hunt up some declassified files, you'll see just how close we've come and no one knew.
there really is more than what you can see and feel and touch , and it has a way of controlling men's minds.
In this case, that being greed, maddness and megalamaniacy.
there are 40,000 people starving to death each day.
this starvation is not necessary.
No, it's not. Letting Korea continue building nuclear weapons in open defiance and permitting Iraq's power-mad regime to continue destroying the human rights of it's population as well as developing newer, meaner weapons won't stop that starvation.
If you have a point, make it. If you have a realistic solution, state it.
You seem to think this growing situation is driven primarily by oil. In that, you'd be wrong.
Pay attention to what you see, and what you hear. Going to war with Iraq will make the oil problem worse not, better. It won't make prices lower, they'll go higher, for everyone.
No, my friend, the purpose of this looming war is to settle a problem that wasn't solved years ago. This is a war that isn't avoidable, if it doesn't happen this year, it'll happen next year. You're preaching to the wrong people. Take your sermon to Iraq, shout in in the streets and go visit Saddam. Tell him to stop his insanity. Tell him to stop rigging his elections. Or didn't you hear? In the last "election" in Iraq, comrade Hussein won 100% of the vote... Unless you're the most naive person on the face of the earth, that should smell pretty bad. Tell him to stop murdering those who disagree with him, and tell him to start thinking about his people instead of his ambition.
Your heart is in the right place. However, reality doesn't match what we'd hope for. No matter how unfortunate the facts are, this is a beast that can be run from, but can't be escaped. Sooner while it's safer, or later when the casualties will be infantesimally worse, a confrontation will happen.
By the way, when was the last time you contributed to a real relief agency? Not the ones that send canned goods to starving people, the ones who send educators in to train them in methods with which they can feed themselves, and give them the livestock and other resources they need to do so? What is your permanent solution to the problems you're complaining about?
