That is impossible! That isn't love...

so sad that so many are filled with hate.

People use the term disown too easily. There is love from a distance though. I have someone I love who is unstable and so I chose to not be involved with him, but my heart still holds love for him and a wish that he finds happiness. With a child though, I think one can just set conditions. I love my kids, always, but lets say my son fell in love with a woman who had a husband at home already. She would not be welcome in my home and it would be his choice to come around on his own or stick by her and refuse. Either way,, my love for him wont change. Adults make their own decisions , but they are not always decisions that I have to agree with or condone.

Iraq is a MUSLIM nation with different values, religion, language......etc and the US invaded it as a sovereign country and now they criticize the Iraqi culture and ways of life . Get real people every society is DIFFERENT and what is accepted in one in an evil in another .

There ya' go!
Hit th' nail right on the head!
It's sad to see it going on and if someone else did something about it, that'd be great.
Just don't expect me to care enogh to actually do anything about it.
Thank you, Mr.Cashu.
As long as it ain't at my fornt door or it's not happening to me or mine then, it's just not worth me getting involved.

The issues to "legally" kill or die for are;
Land
Money
Oil
Instilling our type of leadership
Putting those in power who will do the will of the world leaders
To force our beliefs on other countries, etc.

When it comes to our leaders getting us into or keeping us involved in wars or conflicts, they tell us one thing and then, in time, it is revealed to be for completely different motives.

I wonder just how long it will be before we see the type of violence the middle east folks have seen for thousands of years.

It's a lesson in futality.
We, who have lived the experiances of seeing history repeat itself a couple times will die off. Those who are coming up will see past history as something ancient and distant.

History isn't just repeating, it's getting a colder, harder face. These days, life isn't worth more than a barrel of oil.

I can totally agree with you about the need for people to feel concern for others. Where I disagree is that it is AMERICAS responsibility to arm up and take on every injustice anywhere in the world. I dont see anyone stepping in to help us with our issues and I feel that is what we need to be fighting for first and foremost,,Our Own Issues, before dictating to others how they should live,,let alone sending our kids in to die for that point.

It is awful if someone is killed for any reason. IT is awful if it is another country because they are homosexual or right here at home because they are a 'bum'. But it is not LEGAL to kill homeless people here and because some maniacs still do it,, wouldnt give the right to another country to come in and dictate what our system 'should' be. Those countries need to sort those things out internally first, before always looking to americans to do it for them. If killing homosexuals were legally sanctioned or government policy, I could see intervening. But we cant go off halfcocked everywhere in the world that fantics choose to act fanatically.

There is not a rightwing country on earth I can think of and canada is still a crown subject are they not?
