Warless

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?
