[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2315205, member: 8377"] Ez and otis, i can appreciate your opinion on how the world should work, but that just isnt reality. There are people who really do hate us, there is no two ways about it. Some of those same people hate us; as well as all other non believers, with a passion and wish us death and destruction. That is what they want from us, and no hand wringing, apologies, or changing ourselves is going to make a difference. It has gotten worse in the last two decades as they have adjusted and adapted their tactics to better strike us. For what its worth i dont deny that we make no friends when innocents are killed as a result of our actions. I also know that our inherent desire to have that compassion is used against us as a psychological tactic. It is just one more of those things they have learned to take advantage of knowing that some of us will be swayed by it. It is an useful tool for an enemy who does not have a battlefield advantage. Do you really think that some body who regularly, and as an accepted defense, use innocent children as a shield actually give a rats behind that those children get killed? Of course they dont. But they will scream to high heaven about it to whomever will listen because it works. "no more aid money and no more wars.We'll talk on the internet if we need to exchange pleasantries". Is about the most idealistic fairy tale land attitude i have ever heard. I dont know why you think human nature is at all inclined to follow such a path, but i would love to hear you explain why.
