The result is the same - death.<br /><br />I think we should mind our own business and TRY to solve our problems.marluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933107449114317646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-3608563753834622262012-12-04T09:52:09.388-08:002012-12-04T09:52:09.388-08:00I'm posing a question Margie, nothing more. I...I'm posing a question Margie, nothing more. I don't think the analogy of the violence we suffer, as do all societies, at post offices and such equates with using poison gas against your own people. What I don't want to see is those weapons fall into the hands of terrorist groups. If it takes boots on the ground to prevent that than yes, I would be in favor of it. That doesn't mean I'm in favor of war to solve every problem and I think you know that.Mari Meehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322012728807169863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-20755341079955661152012-12-03T19:16:29.321-08:002012-12-03T19:16:29.321-08:00So, Mari, are you in favor of us going to war agai...So, Mari, are you in favor of us going to war again? Interfering in the affairs of yet another nation? <br /><br />We are divided here too...sadly. Do you suggest that England or perhaps Australia interfere to bring peace to our country? Perhaps you would rather have Israel come help us settle our differences? <br /><br />We have lots of violence in our society...schools, post offices, universities, athletics. Perhaps they could find a way to take the violence out of our society. <br /><br />No one finds peace through war. That was the Roman way and it didn't work then and it never works now either. Just think about it. First World War, Second World War, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan ...and that's just the 20th century. And no peace following victory yet. <br /><br />No..diplomacy is the only way to a permanent peace where there is no collateral damage either. It isn't easy...no...but no one gets killed either.
