Our solutions for war are going to be bought and paid for by the next generation. Kinda like Vietnam, call me a pessimist.

@generaltreeservice I agree verbatim & I have a "theory without science" (wishful idea) that I wanted to share with you. I think something is/has starting in a small % of the population who are born "unique" akin to a new genus/sub-type. An evolutionary quantum leap in logic, & the genetic make-up of the brain is happening. I even pondered if Neanderthal's branch experienced a similar event horizon. Hopefully we all have the ability to switch on our "hearts eye" and make Utopia a reality

To all who believe the governments invasion of ANY foreign country is justified by the governments propaganda machine and the so called terrorist attacks on the USA : You are naive and uneducated... Also you are unable to see past the CNN, and FOX news broadcasts to realize the detrimental effects of war and the failure to do so leaves you in a very trance-like stupor when judgment day arrives....

@attneveryone shut your mouth. Im sorry if you feel your friend died for nothing but I guarantee he didnt. We all knew what could happen when we went there, and its no ones fault. I spent the best years of my life in Iraq. Dont talk shit if youve never been there.
