I agree that it is a far better solution that tackles the source of the injustice than one in which we blame 'whoevers in charge' for the state of the world. Yes, there is nothing more universal a truth than to say that blowing yourself up will never achieve a good end or the mass murder of your own people will ever have a positive outcome, But - intruigingly, This is clearly what some people are capable of! What can possibly make someone believe that an action so severe can be just? I could never tell you because I have a different culture to that. I have never lived in a society in which that was possible, It is inconceivable to me but it obviously makes sense in some cultures... Take the Japanese Empire during the WWII. Kamikaze! I remember when I heard about Kamikazes! as a kid - you think it odd but honourable?! To Die for your country! But lets face it - It was suicide bombimg. Somehow, we have the perception during 'this' war that suicide bombing is evil and yet, other cultures have the view that a suicide bombing is a noble way to fight when the odds are stacked against you. Its a clash of cultures and I fear never the twain shall meet. Perhaps we all originated on other sides of the planet for a damn good reason! Globalisation is impossible, we cant live together peacefully as humans so we should stay out of each others affairs and live and let live. The essence is this: One mans spreading the word and ideas of what he thinks the world needs is anothers reason to fight to their death that their idea is better. It will always be this way and the more we, humans, bound together as nations try and change another cultures ways and beliefs, the more we will be facing an enemy that uses tactics and beliefs that we dont understand. I also admire the charities that work hard on easing the symptoms of wars and negelegence without trying to solve the problem. At least we are doing that for each other. Hey, there is something we can all do as citizens, but im not sure the ballot box is possible anymore. The more I see each government after the last, I more I see that both parties are different sides of the same coin. There really is no alternative vote I dont think anymore. I dont really think the people we vote in have any say to be honest. Somebody pays their wages but I dont think its us through our taxes. Industry, Finance, Media and Government are the same monster with different faces so I think we need to find different ways to change the world. Hey, I dont believe in fairy tales either except the one where the little guy manages to beat the giant with intuition and ingenuity. I believe thats possible.[/quote]
