I was thinking the other day what it would be like if America just stayed put where they where and protected there borders but then that would not be in the interests of America.<BR/><BR/>In the bible people took land over claiming it is theres and there is talk of having enermies. I still have read enough to know why they would go into a land and take what belongs to some one else. Isn't that stealing? Aparently God told them to. So I am confused.<BR/><BR/>Maybe this is also why people kill in war thinking that it is not murder.<BR/><BR/>J.pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239140084937897595.post-70384451435433325092008-11-06T00:28:00.000-05:002008-11-06T00:28:00.000-05:00Hi Nancy,Most people I think see war as a "necessa...Hi Nancy,<BR/><BR/>Most people I think see war as a "necessary evil", but I don't get it. I mean evil is evil. It's not just soldiers who get maimed and die, it's civilians. How can any of it be all right? But the question remains--how do you fight violence? I've thought before that the way to handle people who are violent is to shoot them with a sedation dart like shooting a wild animal. You disable them without hurting them. Then take away their weapons and destroy them. At least researchers should develop non violent ways of immobilizing "the enemy". A commitment to world peace has to start somewhere. Violence is not an acceptable solution, that is unless we want to remain as animals and stop aspiring to be angels. It bothers me that there are all these Judeo/Christian religious people out there who ignore "thou shalt not murder" and "love your enemies" and "turn the other cheek" as if the Bible were just joking about those commands. What would the world be like if all people believed in the spiritual principle that "though shalt NOT murder"? There's so much talk about sin and yet so much sinning going on.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550316119497369344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239140084937897595.post-50356973987912657882008-11-05T21:40:00.000-05:002008-11-05T21:40:00.000-05:00Kate,First, thank you for this photo.

You express passion and a groundedness that I think one needs to see things clearly. Peace. It is difficult to understand who wouldn't want this. Unfortunately, I am sad to say that some think more about their gain and also fear and lack the ability to see how destructive war is. I have heard people call me naive and that with my view the U.S. would be in BIG trouble. I am happy to say that Obama seems to speak "my language". I pray he can help us clean up some messes created by what i think was greed, corruption and just plain stupidity.<BR/><BR/>Nancynancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055473677861147084noreply@blogger.com
