[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tora Ziyal: [QB] "First Strike" is merely a military technicality. Wars do not begin in a vaccum. Bin Laden didn't say, "Well, there's nothing to do out here in the desert, so I guess we'll attack America." The U.S. attack other countries every day in many ways, mostly economically. People do not spend millions (or is it billions?) to start a war unless there is a VERY compelling reason, and it will never end unless you find that reason and heal it. Regarding whose lives are "better": Superiority is one of the problems, isn't it? My country is better than yours. My religion is better than yours. My race is better than yours. My political party is better than yours. Every one of these has caused people to kill and get killed, and for what? What is patriotism but isolation of other countries from yours? What is a nation but a bunch of people who happened to be born in the same place? If Christianity is so great, how come people can discriminate or even kill in its name? If Islam is so great, why did you spend a fortune on revenge instead of feeding your people (the same thing could be said of the U.S.)? Every terrorist soldier has/had a mother and father, perhaps even children they're fighting to save. I'm not saying their cause is entirely good, only that it's not so different from ours. Except that while most of us are trying to make a living, most of them are just trying to live. Nobody is inherently better than anybody else, for any reason. Just imagine for a minute that this is true. What would you do then? [/QB][/QUOTE]
