Wondering?


I am siting up, it is about 0230 in the morning. I am saddened once again, a soldier that lives about 30 minutes from me was reported to have been killed on 12/31/2010 in Afghanistan. I am sad that we are still in combat both in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are doing no good. There is no such thing as a war on terror, just like there is no such thing as a war on drugs.

Let us think about this for a moment and wonder what we could do to prevent future wars and promote peace. Umm, I think we should reduce the amount of guns and bullets we make each year to sell to foreign governments, for example we sell both Palestine and Israel weapons and then want to broker a peace treaty. Real peace would begin within guns not being sold or given to either of these countries. And we make and sell too many guns domestically. Many cities have out of control killing and murders with guns. We want to promote no smoking in public places, how about no guns in public places, this is not to old wild west!

This debate will go on for many years, until we get tired of killing and suffering we will continue to do the same thing year after year.
