> Violence's never the best solution, only at some point, it's the only one. The War Is Wrong thing should only be used in the case of, say, the chinese spy plane thing, where some peoples I know went around tooting that the Us should just bomb the heck out of China... Stuff like that.

There's always the people who want to destroy everybody else. As soon as this thing happened, BANG, everybody was divided into two groups. One group wants to be peaceful, the other group wants to NUKE 'EM ALL. Neither extreme is good. I don't think anybody should die that doesn't have to, BUT, there's no way we're going to find a peaceful solution. If we keep being peaceful all the time, we're going to get POUNDED. We're going to be nice to some country, give them nuclear weapons, and they're going to turn right around and bomb us with them, because we wanted to be nice. On the other hand, if we're mean and nasty and bomb the heck out of every little group of people who make us mad, we'll run out of allies pretty quick. Total peace and total war are both bad ideas.

Some people..... Some Australian that I was talking to told me he was GLAD America got bombed, because "it shows them they aren't invinceable." He doesn't care about the people who died, he doesn't care about how this is going to affect the rest of the world, all he cares about is that it has been proven that America is not invinceable, a fact that we've known. There are a lot of people that think this way. Those people, as well as the people who want war, are the people who have given me a bad opinion of the human race. What kind of messed up thing are we running here? We're the most advanced animal on this ball of rock. You can go to a store and buy cheese in a spray can, now tell me THAT isn't advanced. And when hundreds of our species are killed, all we want to do is go kill more? Seems just a TINY BIT wrong to me.

Yeah, I know everybody has said that already. I just wanted to express my disgust about it.
