Reply #39: Our tax dollars at work...

War sickens me.

It benefits the rich and the powerful.

The rich dupe the "patriotic" into fighting and dying for an "idea of freedom" or "democracy" or "peace" or just plain "revenge".

In the end, the ones who suffer are those dupes and those innocents who were used.

I don't know the answers but I do know that Jewish and Arab people have lived side by side with one another in the past and that it is possible for peace to exist. If as much effort were put into making a lasting peace and into creating a brilliant future...as there is in waging war...this world would be a wonderful place.
