That starting wars does not help for starters! The only way to resolve this is understanding between religions and nations, and not treating all people of a given culture as 'the enemy'. You can't win a 'war on terror' by shooting people but only by winning their 'hearts & minds'. If Israel and Palestine could be sorted out it would go a long way. We should not be propping up dictators. We should not be in the Arms Trade.
I could go on but that will do to begin with, now discuss!

yeah thanks Andrew dunno what happened to AndyHB who forgot to answer his own question...

there's a very interesting talk on the R4 Reithh lectures... last sat was the former head of MI5/6? whatever... when you listen to her talk it's a wonder there are any wars .... but there are..

the bit that is sticking in my mind at the minute is the 'war on terror'... it's not cos of its weight of political propaganda but i recollect early post 9/11 a sudden shift in Bush's demeanour... a reading of the papers at the time revealed a story line that said he had had a reliegious experience... the trouble is that what GOD said and what he did next kindov feel to be two kettle of fish... you see 'war on terror' for me began at home ie reviewing the US role past and present with humility unfortunately war meant something fought on foreign soil to the C2o americn  all that happened was a rewriting of the definition in the dictionary of the word 'terror'... like i say listening to that Reith lecture one wonders how wars were ever fought... it's easy in hindsight... but then...

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
