For me to rest in peace, I feel that I would have to die at peace. What do I mean by that? I mean, if there is a nuclear attack near Mt. Pleasant Michigan, and you no longer see me post here, then know that I died a martyre of peace. I died without vegeance towards mankind, of any race, nationality, color or creed. We are an imperfect creation, we can be made to believe what our media and governments want us to believe. In that respect we aren't any different than our brothers and sisters around the world. It's so very much easier to solve our problems with a gun, especially when we deal with people that don't talk like us, than it is to solve them with compassion. No, I have never killed a human, with a gun, and I am not saying the act of that is easy for the average person. But for a government, that has a trained group for doing just that sort of thing, then it is easy to make the order.

Sometimes Americans forget that the people in charge of our nation are human beings, hell, they even forget, but it's true. Mistakes will be made, consequences will be lived, but time will still march on, without skipping a beat.

So many of us worry about the history of ourselves, our families, even our country. But the history of humankind stands to lose the most if we don't figure out an alternative to war.

" killing everyone makes us no better than the terrorists that attcked on 9/11."
You're right, we can't be "better" we have to be worse or we will lose. We have to kill more of them than they kill of us. The one that wins the fight survives and lives on. That's "natural selection" or "Survival of the fittest" if you prefer

"A nuclear attack on American soil? Hasn't this been a threat since other countries became nuclear capable? Why all the worry now?"

Yes, but then we dealt with the Russians and they are not idiots like the arabs. They realized that if they shot at us we would shoot back and there would be mutual destruction. They liked being alive as do we so it was a stand off. We held each other at bay, neither of us wanting to die. But now you have one side that embraces death. Like they did on 9/11, they will not and do not care if they die. They want to! So if they can sit on top of a suitcase or satchel nuke and push the button, "wa-hoo, here I come virgins".
Hey you guys are welcome to "die in peace" but don't take me or anyone else with you by your in action. Do you prefer death?

"humankind stands to lose the most if we don't figure out an alternative to war."

I lived in Israel in the late 1980's.

Out of necessity, whereever our group went, we were armed.

Our host did its best to brief us....

An FBI agent in Minneapolis said yesterday that the Bureau rewrote his warnings to make it sound like it was no big deal.

After all the FBI has bungled everything else in its path: Ruby Ridge . . . Waco . . . Oklahoma City . . . Olympics . . . Wen Ho Lee . . . and now 9/11. Its solution is more money to turn it into a secret state police.

Did somebody say "Gestapo"?
