how to end war

How do you think war ends? I think that war ends when we can talk, sometimes though a person needs to be on the verge of death before they realize the alternative.

That's not naive, that's just what I have seen.

On the question of war

I recently got a chance to go to the Ocar nominated movie "Letters from Iwo Jima" it is the feature film that tells the particular story of one Japanese draftee. He is a young baker who has just become a father. One thing that he promises the unborn daughter is that he will return. For Japan the war has become quite hopeless. There is nothing that war is that anyone except the protected like about war. But for once I even as a Japanese American agree. I would no sooner live like they do in Japan than I would myself commit suicide.

Over and over again the difference between the two cultures and their similarities are displayed. I can only think that all people want to live in peace and raise their children to have a life worth living. This is the nature of most of us, but for the rest of us. I can only think of this, there are insidiously evil people who want to take your freedom away because they can. And these kinds of people must be resisted at all costs, including war.

I want that kind of a world for my children.

2 precious daughters, the mothers of tomorrow.

my children, them I would gladly fight and die for.

war

war Category: Life
I will not tell you how to vote, but I will encourage you to believe. You cannot know the terror of oppression in this country. In this country we only practice subtle intimidation.
Please save me from people that call you narrow and perhaps intolerant.
And wimpy believers just go under and fold.
I don't believe in that kind of faith. The man I mimick and love so much, hung naked and mocked and innocent on a cross for me.
We may not want to war against evil, but we must.
If we do evil will not win, but it will cost us.
That is not hard to believe.
Now the only question, is do you believe?
