I think your position is that war just happens. If that is the case,= and I think you're right, it is the case, then we are doomed. Since day o= ne there has been war, in all countries, at all times, ever escalating in i= ntensity, right up until today when peaceloving Americans invaded a country= and made up all sorts of reasons why they did it. Yet you say doing somet= hing over and over literally for all of history is not a choice. What it i= s then?
