*Who profits from the war? Everyone but the evil regimes that like terrorism.
can you spell Halliburton, to name but one...
-No I am not kidding. We have to protect them for now but we can't afford to occupy the country forever.
Not in lives or in money. I thought you would be for leaving now. I'm only saying we have to leave when the job is done. But not before
-Yeah. I suppose Halliburton did profit from the war, but Haliburriton counts as part of "everyone but the evil regimes that like terrorism"
OK. Ricarlete (sp?)
Your idealism is nice but flawed. Evil is a part of human nature. We can't teach our kids to be nice by removing the violent images from TV. Obviously we have two very different worldviews. I, on one hand believe that there are absolute rights and wrongs established by God, and that humans are by nature going to do evil. History continues to repeat itself.
You seem to thing that somehow humanity can become peaceful by simply not engaging in war. But that is crap. Somewhere until the end there will always be someone engaging in evil and they will wage war. War is bad but it is the only option more times than not. Nothing but death or Divine intervention will stop Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden from being evil.
And, ric, if you insist on removing violence from entertainment what the heck are you doing on a message board about Star WARS?
