Peace on earth and goodwill towards all humans(and animals)

Yeah! What she said!:goodpost: :smileyfla

i agree with Rae Rae but me & hubby argue iver it all the time when we see things on the news then i ask him how he would feel if his sons got drafted they are 13/15 but if things keep going you never know and he just informs me that usa has too many troops all over there won't be a draft uh ok then so i guess he doesn't actually want to think what may possibly happen!! i just hate to watch the news anymore as daily something really bad happens ! it makes me very upset and confused!

I'm soo glad whenever I hear of more people who feel the same way I do, it makes me feel like I'm less naive when it comes to politics, bc politics is something I really don't get at all, lol.

They've been bringing up the draft through-out this whole war. Some people say it won't happen, others say it will. I just say "never say never". not only that, but what if his sons WANT to join..he can't stop them. I know soo many people who still want to join the service regaurdless of the war. One of my closest friends just joined the army and is now in Germany. It scares me soo much to think of him going to Iraq, but he isn't scared at all.

And its true theres people that are not scared to die for our country and its ok WHEN its for a good reason NOT for someone elses war (Bush) you feel me...Specially for ""GAS"" like i said b4 i would rather walk for miles than to see my bro. and cousins out there fighting "HIS" war....:mad: :mad: :mad:

And what really pisses me off is that the USA has tons of oil!!! And look at all the oil-alternatives...by the time this war is done cars aren't going to require gas anymore!

Yup...thats true...

Very well said Jodie. I am praying for the leaders through out the world for them to see the wisdom of exactly that of which you have said here. Patti

Well this is whats been going on :cry: ....

This terrifies me also!:( My husband is in the military & just got back a month ago & he will be going back again soon. I really hope all this settles down because it scares the crap out of me!

WWII was started mainly because Hitler began taking over countries and threatened the security of the other nations in Europe and Asia. The US did not become involved until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor which the Japanese has an alliance with Nazi Germany and Hitler. As for the war in the Middle East they have been fighting for hundreds of years as long as Israel has been an independent country. Israel has always been in some way under attack from the Palestinians whether it was physical or verbal. Both groups fundamental religious beliefs are different and this has caused the rift. I don\'t believe that the US should get involved in this simply because this was not like WWII where there really wasn\'t an equal playing field it was mostly Hitler and the Italian leader Mussonlini going around around bullying countries. WWII was not a religious war but more of a we want to rule the world War. However having said that I don\'t think that it is right that the Israelis or anyone for that matter are not able to live free from terror. I pray for all of the people there and hope that things will settle down.

I apologize if this sounded like a history lesson, I just don\'t want people to connect our involvement now to WWII.

If there were no religions, what would the world be like??? I sound like John Lennon, but it is something to ponder.

I am not saying religion is bad, I am Roman Catholic, but the root of so much violence and war is because of religious differences.

The root of so much violence and war is because of religious extremists & radicals. However on the flip side I think the root of acts of kindness can be attributed to peoples religious faith as well.

This thread WAS NOT intended to start a political debate and YT is not the place to do it.

I realize and appreciate all the different opinions and perspectives of everyone here but please do not make this thread a debate/complaint/argument over the current politics of our world. I am sure there are other places this can be done but it is not acceptable here.

Thank You~
