it is wrong that one part of the world has crossed the boundery of using large nuclear bombs on non combatants. it justifies this as a viable conduct of war.
The islamic terrorists now have just as much right to claim to be 'at war' with who ever they like in the world as anyone, no matter how inane the reasons for the targets, and causing wide scale panic and death on civilian transport and to our lives is exactly the same warfare, and what you do if you cant get hold of nukes.
the problem i have with history in the last 100 years is that it went too fast. thousands of years of using the same codes and conducts of life and warfare suddenly brought to the world stage in two tremendous wars, culminating with half the world winning partly because of the big bomb. .... and then nothing, no more command and conquer, no more empires and shooting at tribes people to steal thier tobacco and mud hut. a couple of scare wars and constant bickering but nothing worth looking at twice.
Now the half of the world that 'won' the great wars are all acting as if they are still conquering factions years after peace.
does anyone think 70 years is long enough for enemies to forget a grudge? some of the individuals involved in those conflicts are still alive, and many who were affected by them are.
The world at present is like a school play ground half way through break time, there have been a few fights and some are licking thier wounds in the heat of others strutting thier victories, but no one is by any means beaten. coulpe of the less fortunates have determination in thier eyes and there is still a good 30 mins to go before the bell.
