War Can Not Solve Our Problems.

[Raydawg1234]

I am disgusted with the notion of "The Long War." This bullshit justification to inflate the profits of the Military industrial complex.

Are we Americans so stupid to think that war can solve the problem of Terrorism?

Thousands of years of history have taught us nothing. The cycle of endless retaliation will continue. Does it ever occur to people that Terrorism cannot be solved militarily? Are Americans so dumb that they think the terrorists hate us for our freedoms and not for what we do?

Thus, the challenge for America in the new century, is to solve the problem of terrorism in a peaceful manner. If we do that, then we will continue to be a great nation. If we fail, we are doomed.

The Morality of 'Munich'

What can a movie about war teach us about peace?

From the description given, it sounds as though Spielberg has gotten the message that war-making has nothing in common with peace-making. When ‘justice’ is defined as a life for a life, an evil for an evil, it is the justification for any and every war.

That leaves the question whether a portrayal of war’s evils, for the sake of theatrics, teaches us anything about peace. I think not. “Munich” seems to have the same message that Shakespeare gave us in “Hamlet:” one killing only leads to another. It makes for action and drama but teaches nothing about peace....
