Making a stand

When backed into a corner most animals will fight tooth and nail just to survive. Humans are animals too, but with a difference, we don't need to be in a corner to fight. We use things like religion and political beliefs as an excuse to fight...Sometimes not even that. We maim and kill each other for pointless causes and non-existent justice. It seems as if killing each other is so embedded into our minds that we're all driven to self-destruct our own existence.

Bush says that "we" don't want this war yet keeps troops over seas. I don't like this war, for lack of a better way of putting it it stinks of evil. Hundreds dying for a cause that I'm sure they don't truly understand. They're fighting for freedom right? They're the good guys that are ridding the world of militant dictators, some of whom they are directly responsible for their rise to power. They're "protecting" the world from a horrid future, a future of lunatic dictators with nuclear weapons where no one is safe to sleep at night. So they ensure that only they have to weapons that are capable of killing millions at a time, then we're safe.

Where do you draw the line between a justified stand and needless retaliation? It's hard, you can't really have a set line, it's blurry at best and is always moving. Every single person stumbles to figure out where it is, but one thing is sure, violence and hate are not the way, understanding and forgiveness are what should be used in a dispute.

But that's just me...
