Doing something for Veterans on Remembrance Day

[Delphinus]

I think you are mixing several very distinct issues and blending them into one.

I don't see how anyone could argue against your premise that war is bad. But tell it to the politicians and leaders, not to those who wish to try to comprehend the sacrifices made by INDIVIDUALS, who believed they were making those sacrifices towards a greater good.

I'm not sure I can offer more to this discussion. I wish there wasn't fighting in Iraq and I wish there wasn't fighting in Afganistan and I wish there wasn't such things as genocide and terrorism. And I wish that they could simply be wished away with something as simple as a wish.

Even if one day we get there, we would still have to have a Remembrance Day to remember those fallen before their time.

Agree, and yes this is political problem , however the point is that INDIVIDUALS have choice to go or not go and that is how individuals Can make a difference and if enough individuals will make a right choice to stay away from war, forgive and forget; and let people be, then war will stop.

It may sound naïve and simplified but what is the alternative?

By the way terrorism is non existent entity it’s made up.

I am sorry, but I can't believe you are that naive.
If all the good people stop standing up to the bad people, the bad people win.....yeahh....facism here we come.
I agree that terrorism has become a overused term.
however, terrorism has been around for centuries...
I guess we just have to agree to disagree.

No arguments here, just civilized discussion.

Andresont,

Please leave my thread alone. It is about honouring individuals who have served faithfully and sacrificed for our freedoms. It is not a political debate about war. You obviously have strong anti-war feelings, but start your own thread if you want to discuss those political views, just as you start many threads about UFOs & life on other planets. This is not a debating thread. You can start one if you like.

Sorry, but you really are ruining the spirit of this thread. Start a "I hate Bush" thread of your own to rant in. I'll join you there & provide lots of examples.

If you think I want to get you upset you are mistaken, and I apologize if I did.

You are welcome to rant about any thing you want on any of my threads. By the way I think none of the threads are our own, but hey what do I know.
I will stop posting on this thread as you wish.
Russell.
P.S.
I would like you to join me on some other thread for sure; can you keep your promise?
