if you think i'm pro-war, you're barkin up the wrong tree with that. i'm pro-good-exit-strategy.
i know and fairly understandably so but still you cant look at things "realistically"
it doesnt work that way
i recommend everyone involved takes a nap
if i ever got "drafted" id blow something up
cos then id really have nothing to lose
none ofthese things are isolated issues and you cant take them as such yeah itsucks that it appears a certain way

it's hard to say. i am reading a book right now that makes me think that too many soldiers with too much power add up to too much violence. it's about nazi germany.

although the context of nazi germany was indeed very different from the iraq situation where americans are the invaders and most of them just want to go home.

one thing is for sure: the potential for human cruelty is more immense than i can willingly realize.

Okay, you know me--I dig up answers from the spiritual realm. War and invasion is rooted in the collective unconscious. America must change. Clinton said it. For Christ's sake--People get a clue!! America is a violent nation and its moral base is under scrutiny. What psychological model do you support which encourages self-critique? Finger pointing ends up in wars and street violence. What about "YOU!"? (not directed at any one individual). What do you do to serve the common good?

This war/occupation is a projection of the psyche of America.

Read a little C. G. Jung and learn something about projected collective complexes.
