Knowing the penalty, I'm playing the war Guru. C'mon, young people, war is as much a way of living as are hurricanes, tornados, blizzards, and other "natural." disasters. It's gonna' happen as long as mankind is convinced that his religion and belief, or lack of these, is the only entitlement to God's blessings. We're still far too provincial, and ignorant to realize that the United States paid with the lives of millions of our young men and women to stop a world war in 1941-1945. Today, even with the "wrong leaders," of both parties, we have policed the world (Bully, Hell!) so well since 1945, there has not been another WORLD WAR ! ! ! sO, PLEASE STOP BITCHING AND SECOND GUESSSING OUR LEADERS. Who else would steer the ship? Critics have the right to differ, but don't bore holes in the ship's hull, or throw the sails overboard. Studying truthful history,instead ofwith a closed mind, will go a long way toward informing young Americans, who really don't know the background of war and the leadership, good and bad, involved. War Happends! Thanks for listening. - Bill

Have we learned nothing? I fear for the future of mankind...an excellent, provocative write.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I think we're still at the 'cave man' stage! Seems we've learned nothing. What a bunch of gerbils spinning their wheels...

Yup, like some great theological orator said once, "War is hell." Hiroshima and Nagasaki paid the price for arrogance and false pride.
