Answer 1

Nothing just for the Bush Administration and the New World Order. Otherwise it is good for nothing.

Answer 2

The Second World War, was it worth fighting? In my opinion, absolutely. Everything since then were skirmishes if you will, even Korea and Viet Nam were pretty much localized to a few countries. They all eventually ended with not much movement on either side after years have passed. We're still at the thirty-eighth parallel and we can go visit Viet Nam. Was all that dying worth the fighting? Look at the middle-east. Two thousand years of hatred and fighting. It is the thirst for power and their are some willing to have millions die in its' pursuit. Humanity, as a civilization has not advanced enough to see that on a global scale, we all live on this planet, it's sink or swim together. One day the world community will not put up with despots, tyrants, fanatics or any person who is hurting their individual peoples. One day.

There is no better way than war to change the collective mind of a nation's people, according to the 1908 opening minutes of the Carnegie Endowment for World Peace, one of the many tax-exempt foundations in the United States with troubling motives (see also Rockefeller (Council on Foreign Relations & Trilateral Commission), Ford, Guggenheim (American Historical Association) etc.).

The Carnegie Endowment went on, some years later, to caution Woodrow Wilson not to do anything rash to hasten the end of World War I. Wilson, former Dean of Princeton, should be infamous to this day for signing the Federal Reserve Act at 11:30pm on December 23 1913 - it was voted in by the three senators who stayed behind after the rest left for the start of that year's Christmas recess. That may not sound like a big deal but the Federal Reserve (like most other central banks around the world, including the Bank of England) is not a federal institution but a private, for-profit bank; servicing the United States' debt to the [private] Federal Reserve is the reason federal income tax was first levied.

Trivia fans please note: The event which galvanised US public support for entry into WWI was the sinking of the Lusitania - a converted warship carrying arms in contravention of US neutrality in WW1 (and probably unknown to the 126 fare paying passengers). Not only had it had one of its four boilers disabled (making it more vulnerable to attack) but the person within the British Admiralty responsible for recalling its frigate escort through dangerous waters (and, hence, its subsequent attack and the deaths of the 126 passengers) was Winston Churchill :-(

I have heard President Truman quoted as saying before US entry into WWII "if Germany appear to be winning we should side with Russia.. if Russia are winning we should side with Germany..".

More recently, did you know that the US had 30,000 Korans printed for the Islamic shools (madrassas) that they have helped to fund in Pakistan over the last twenty-five years and that are now claimed to be a major source of Islamist terrorists?

Don't take my word for it. Do some homework. Millions upon millions of people have lost their lives over at least the last one hundred years because of policy decisions taken by unelected individuals.

Knowledge is power to a certain extent, but the world we live in has been manipulated to hand power to a select few. I think the key lies in non-violent opposition but there's a long way to go before there are enough people to make a difference - remember there were over a million people on the streets of London (and many more around the world) before the current occupation of Iraq, and now it's illegal to stage a peaceful protest anywhere in the UK without permission from the Police. Definitely a long way to go. Fingers crossed.

Answer 4

War is ONLY good for egotistical politicians to play out their fantasies. Occasionally it is for the good - to stop genocide - but looking at Dafur, Afghanistan and Iraq - I think those days are over. Happy Mr Bush and Mr Blair? If there is reincarnation, u will possibly come back as a creature to be tortured in an inhumane research centre

Answer 5

Answer 6

It is a shame that any individual anywhere should have to give his/her life for the purpose of war. It is a shame countries don`t live for a common goal of making our EARTH a nice healthy place to live. It is a shame that problems can`t be talked out and compromises made to benefit all people. We think of ourselves as countries not as one planet. That is where the problem starts
GOD BLESS US AND BLESS OUR FUTURE..Money and power are the root of all EVILS.I don`t even go to church and I can see this !!!

Answer 9

the only time I see war necessary is when your country is being attacked. i.e. the war on terror. Again, for all those who keep forgetting - the war in Iraq is not the war on terror.

any other war is simply for one parties gain and that is wrong.
