The fact that you do not mind people dying is between yourself and your conscience
I believe that individuals have the right to their own beliefs so I cannot argue with you on that account. I do however still feel negotiation is a powerful weapon and the fact that the Middle East has not gotten its act together is due to the interference of outside parties who do not really form part of the negotiation process...this is my personal opinion and I
will not be attacked for it...
In the final analysis I disagree with war and bloodshed and believe that Nations should determine their own destinies without being policed by the "great" powers.
I quote the Great Nelson Mandela of South Africa (with some pride as I live here now
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, gifted, or fabulous?" The truth is---who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Playing small doesn't serve the world in any way. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine. We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within every one of us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to shine bright too. And, as we liberate ourselves from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates and lights the way for everyone who comes in contact with us. --Nelson Mandela--1994
