Reply #28: The only pure wars are on the silver screen. All societies fight for [View All]

some resource somewhere. The wars among humans that are spawned by the wealthy are as easily won or lost by the poorest among us. Food, land, water, shelter, oil...anything necessary for the sustenance of life, humans will fight over. In the name of nationalism, zealotry, religion, fear, morality...war for resources is cloaked in any of these and more.

What is most disturbing about the war in Iraq is that it has become the equivalent of an Ohio-Michigan game. Thing is, even football games have an end with a winner and a loser. Somehow we manage to accept that in sports but we choose not to accept it when it comes to war. At least in the US.

Just ramblin' Redstone.
