In a world where almost everyone is influenced (i´m not saying controlled - but its very close to that) by mass media, you can never be sure that what you hear is true. If tomorrows newspaper tels you something happened somewhere on the other side of the world you have to believe it, because you have no means of checking it other than going there an checking it on your own.
Regarding this fact it is always interresting how people blindly follow someone without spending a thought on wheather it is good or not - and not only that - they do defend him - sometimes even with their lives.
I just remind you of WW2 - tonns of people where folowing Hitler and BELIEVED in him though he was only abusing everybody.
And one thing is for sure - NO war is good - for no reason AT ALL. There is ALWAYS a peacefull way. I cannot understand ANYONE who says "we have to make war for i think its the best solution". are you the one who dies there? do you want to die there for some president who is sitting in his comfortable big house and never gets in touch with the war in person? Die for something that you cannot be sure if it is justified? Can you ask this of anybody else? your fiend? your father? would you send your son into war? would you say the war was good and right when he does not return?
i think in this discussion we are forgetting what war is about! It is senseless killing an dying - young people killing other young people - they do not know eachother - they might have become big friends if they met ina pub instead of on the battlefield. Now how sick is that?
No person has the right to send someone to war and expecting him to die for his interrests.
Have you ever seen someone beeing hit by a granade in REAL LIFE? i am sure you would change your mind when you spent only one day in a real war.
