This country is like a family in many ways. Families are famous for having heated internal debates, but let someone from the outside attack a family member and the whole family turns on the attacker. The United States is like a family. We are constantly debating this or that and we become very passionate about our positions. It is very difficult for people from less open societies to understand. Despite all of our political differences when someone outside attacks one of ours we fight back together as one family.

I don't think that tragedy should occur for people to settle conflicts, but most of the time this unfortunately the case.

Rivalry is a manifestation of primitive people who probably have not grown aware enough to be capable of uniting for altruism. When such people do unite, it is surely for the more basal motivation of self-survival utilizing the strength of numbers in times of instability.

Tragic events can unite people briefly...but in the end life goes on , and decisions have to be made..this is the nature of politics. Debate is needed and encouraged. We all see and feel the costs of "rushed" decisions as evident in Iraq!

Because usually it is a battle, Good v/z Evil.
Most of the time Good always prevails in the end.
