Times are changing...as they should...It's been more than interesting to see how the "people's views" towards war and how to relate and deal with other countries during disagreements have changed over time. I remember Kissinger as a thoughtful, intelligent man, with a German accent...but who really knew that man? I certainly didn't. I grew up within the mentality of people who just got themselves out of WW II. Wars and fighting seemed just, then. The public really never had the media to close in on the injustices that went rampant.
I have mixed feelings about war, any war, large or small. I now see killing as an injustice, when we should be talking and coming to sensible agreements, but at the same time I feel a certain justice in riding the population of war mongers and murderers, and in the process I find it difficult to understand these murderous mentalities in these religious wars of other countries.
My religion advocates love my fellow man, but it's so terribly difficult in the world of today, where we all are taking part in voicing our opinions of hate...so MANY different opinions, it's staggering and complex! I do believe, since Barack Obama has become POTUS, we've (at least I have) started to listen to the side of reasonability, before our decisions reach the point of no return, War. Thinking and discussions first - Make talk, not war.
ISSIS has become the bur under the saddle...how do you calm the horse long enough to remove that bur? Decades will pass, no doubt, and I will pray for today and our future, as all nations try to come together and resolve these differences, and as many others will pray for a peaceful world for tomorrow; I seriously doubt it will ever come about. I'm not a fatalist, I just see the reality of the human race; we fight, just to stay alive as a day to day survival mantra, being part of the human condition - God save the world.
