Is there such thing as universal love?

Answer 1

While I appreciated John and Yoko, I thought it was fueled by the times. Now if people could collectively get on that wavelength, maybe there would be a starting point. Granted that war and military interventions are tragic and destructive (ask any European immigrant over the age of seventy), they are conditional and subject to two sides in a dispute. Sometimes, it is a revolt against fascism or self-defence. This is why we must support pacifist solutions, end nuclear proliferation, dismantle most of the American military-industrial complex and focus on multilateralism. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are complete failures with a high loss of civilian life. It has added to the infighting and political dissent. There is little hope for a unified Iraq. I see it as tragedy. It wasn't necessary to go into these countries.

The same with Somalia. What could possibly be the motivation for going in there? I doubt a devastated country fighting itself while devoid of law and order, food for crying out loud, would harbour any training camps for insurgents.

Now if Russia is backing its historic ally, Serbia, while rejecting the Kosovo independence plan, it is because it is anti-Muslim and looking for a war. Look at what Vladimir Putin's administrative and military policies have done to Chechnya. The government and military are committing atrocities against the Chechen people. Over 200,000 have been killed needlessly and there is evidence to back this up, along with historic injustice. So if this is what institutions are going to do to the powerless, defenceless and poor, then organizations like the Kosovo Liberation Army will pop up. The U.N. and NATO could intervene and negotiate, but they stand by and do nothing. Why we as a human race needlessly create war, hate and destruction is a very good question...
