Albert Einstein:
"The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service."
I find it fascinating that the most noble and moral people throughout history were also anti-war. Einstein, Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Buddha, Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, Lysander Spooner, and of course, Jesus.
They weren't just anti-this war. They were anti-ALL war.
On the other hand, those that most supported war were crooked, wretched men such as Hitler, Stalin, FDR, Bush (senior and junior), Nixon, LBJ, Mao, Castro, Saddam Hussein, Caesar, etc.
Am I missing anyone who was a moral person who supported violence by the state? Anyone who hugged the bomb as well as un-aborted babies? Probably, but they aren't the norm. People who think war is a solution to their nation's problems are evil, evil people.
Now, my point is this: Obama supports war in Pakistan, Darfur and Afghanistan. McCain supports war everywhere.
You really think voting is going to make a difference?

If we could live in a perfect world there would be no war, but men are inherently evil and will act as such. If we were all perfect, like we will be in heaven then there will be no more war. God understands humans and even started wars. God fit wars to the culture. The ancient cultures were more war-like and God lead them into battle. We should be moving towards a time of peace, but then again it says in the Bible that, "wars and rumors of wars" is a sign of the end times. I think it is up to us to pray and think long and hard about who we are going to vote for, if we choose to take that right. Personally, I would love to see Bob Barr to win over the insane war hero and the insane Mr. Change but since this will not happen if I had the right to vote I would vote for the war hero because he seems to understand what is going on better than Obama. BTW, Sorry that I am a writing terribly but I just kind of had a stream of thoughts and wanted to say them all so re-organize them yourself if you please...
