It's not places or governments that are bombed... it's people |

Why are we not indignant that we see the firing and launching, but seldom the devastation?
Ask any veteran or ER personnel and they'll tell you carnage of the human body brings the glory of battle to a halt. It's why it's a last resort.
It's also why we're not seeing it in the media.
Who's remembering the deployed troops. Ten days and counting till three years of deployment.
That's 1,085 days. Think about it. I am.

People want simple and clean results and don't care about the middle management (as it were) and how the results get done. Like owning stock and wanting to see it go up so you profit and not wanting to know the details of how many people had to be laid off so your shares could go up 2 cents each.
It is human nature to want to see only the results of the desire and not the method of it - everything from war to abortion to hamburgers and how they get to your plate (or wrapper in the case of fast food).
In short - most people don't care about how things are done, just that they are. And the more power you have or the more you have vested in something it seems the more likely you are to want to gain exponentially more which means, to me, you care even less.
There is a balance to things, the more one gets their desires the more other's dont. The desire to balance all this is a progressive one, an all for one and one for all type thing. We want, but limit our wants so that the wealth of things can be shared - a voluntary limit on the stock price per se.
Just my 2 cents worth of rambling :)
