By any chance, are you making references to the current war with Iraq? For one to claim he is "anti-war" is disingenuous. War is a necessary evil. Just think about what life would be like if the US refused to enter WW2? In some instances, war is the only way to achieve peace. If a nation is never willing to engage in war, it renders itself helpless to terrorists and imperialists. One who is unwilling to engage in war under any circumstances will never know peace. Although it sounds noble to preach about humanity, some cultures simply are not humane, and we cannot make them humane by playing "nice" with them and hoping they'll just learn to like us and leave us alone.

Linda, I'm glad you're thinking about it. Tiffany Wheller, that's very commendable that you work with the genocide going on in Darfur. You are right that we need peace in our own lives. Thanks, Scott Thanks for your comments!

I work the genocide going on in Darfur and I realize that the world does not react the same to atrocities as they would if it someone in their immediate lives. In fact most people do not respond at all and in America I think that we have become desensitized, immune and numb to what takes place around us. I think that remembering the 6 million is a huge step in the process not to allow it to happen again. If we are able to let go of the past we will not learn from our mistakes. We need peace within our own lives so that we are able to pass that on to others! I am glad that you stated all that you did.

I guess you focus so much on the issue that u forget the humans involved. All I can say is that your article made me think about the way i respond to the killing of people sometimes.

Especially when it comes to the subject of child abuse. Thanks for your interest in the BLOG CARNIVAL AGAINST CHILD ABUSE. I, myself, have been thinking (and blogging) a lot about humanity lately.
