I'd really love the idea to spend all the money now spent on military effort on space prog.... but hey... we won't get far with (how much was it.. ?) one-third of the world starving and demanding some help from the more "advanced" (or calling the rest of the world Satan killing some innocent well-fed people). And when we want to help we what ??!! send military to these countries ? we get more and more people killed ? it's a vicious circle...
terrorist killed a few thousand people up to now but remember how many soldiers and civilians died in the proces....
I don't really get the idea of "war for peace".
don't let's beat around the Bush - WAR is BAD no matter what the cause is.
let's feed the world.
I recommend listening to Bill Hicks and his views on "Desert Storm" and war in general.
And... Does any idea justify anyone dying for it ?
No ?
So why do some people fight for 'democracy' ?
it's still an idea... Embracing life... yeah... and money.
