I wouldn't personally agree with that.
All our wars are brought about by those in financial and social power, not the common man.
the numbers may dissagree.
The regular folk don't have any beef with each other, the German people didn't have a problem with the English people, the Japanese with the Americans, the Iraqi's with the West.
correct me if you truly believe i am wrong, but they must have had a percieved beef with eachother in order for them to be willing to die (death) for a cause so great as to kill.
The only grudges and opinions of other nations the regular, working class people have are those instilled in us by our 'leaders' and the media.
whew, so that leaves more than 90% of the human race not responsible for the human race. glad i'm not a leader, or in the media. i'm off the hook!
If George Bush had a problem with Saddam Hussein, why didn't they just sit and talk about it, or get in a boxing ring and have a pay-per-view fight in Vegas?
because it was a war between common man, come on man.
I do not consider us a violent, warlike race, a gullable one maybe, but not warlike.
it would seem that 7,000 years of mankind not going one month without war or destruction or murder might be documented proof enough to at least provide you with enough cause to reconsider the above statement.
gullable, no
fearful, yes


agreed. it would have been easier for them to start further back in time.
