Its all very well to talk about global warming, but....

Well, I have read a few posts from various members. I must say that there are varied opinions and ideas of what this world is coming to...though there are few real solutions that can be acceptable to all..
All I can say is that if we consider ourselves humans, and "intelligent creatures" of this planet, we had better do something about our attitude towards peace and progress to make this World a better place. No matter what religion, race or creed we belong, we simply need to learn to live in peace with each other. Otherwise we will certainly destroy and/or make life difficult for ourselves.

Yeah, because we've been going backwards for hundreds of years.

yo'all forget it's the overpopulation that's causing all the problems, so MAKE WAR NOT LOVE, this way you'll solve at least some of your problems.

The other problem is, where will the US get so much practice in actual combat readiness conditions, than in the middle East where they like fighting as a matter of existence, and be able to keep developing more and more sophisticated weapons so that they'll never be caught with their pants down again.

As an example, how were the US fighting forces prepared in the lead up to the '14-'18 war?
Pretty pathetic by all accounts, the US didn't even have an air force, and the army still had to learn which end of the gun made a loud noise etc etc.

As unpallatable as it seems the Arab proverb that goes, "Without a stick a man would be bitten even by a sheep" is so very true.

If you don't have a bunch of idiots to practice on, where are you going to get the experience to keep a standing armed force at the ready and equipped with the latest up to date technology for instant deployment, whether it's to make a point or just maintain a standpoint.

The line has been drawn in the sand, and make no error there's gonna be a few eggs cracked in making this omelette, but that's life, be thankfull you're not on the receiving end.

BTW, the holy book that determines all Middle East policy and day to day life states that FORNICATION (shagging without being married) is a sin, and is punishable by death etc, so if you get a suicide bomber filled with the belief that he will get 72 virgins when he gets to paradise, isn't this just an example of the hypocritical attitude of that lot?
