..along with the system...even if it means suffering for themselves in the longterm (in the form of maldesigned medicines, offspring or other loved ones killed or maimed in war or preventable accidents). I suppose that I have to understand that in certain middle-east countries, for instance, the populace is not given a choice to select their own belief system, they're still at the stage of obey and act like you believe..or else!! Thus controlled, they can be used to start wars and so on..still I wonder if there's anything in their scriptures, since they're so religious, that preaches non-violence and so on?

Our current conflicts are artificial. You ever wonder why things change very little from president to president? It is because they are not in charge, the they are in charge. I am not being a conspiracy theorist here. It is like you said, elementary. If it seems logical to not go to war the logical reason why there is war is because someone wants there to be war for some reason.

I have a suggestion - why not study war.....see how many times our country has been attacked since say 1750...and that includes our embassies, and our vessels anywhere in the world....now count the hundreds of thousands of times...people were captured, bombs, attacks, planes....keep going..keep going........
....and think about the term DEFENSE.....how would you like to defend yourself.....words....sticks...stones.....bows & arrows...guns.....bombs.....technology....listening devices....or.
shall we just give up and say ok, we'll do nothing if you "terrorists" do anything to us again....and again...and again
