It is always good to read your perspective on things. I have re-read it, too but, I still think my conclusion on being born in the most evil, destructive and ecocidal century that humanity has ever seen is correct. And, it is the fault of the traditional, centuries old, Judeo-Christian nations than all the other world faiths put together.
As a result, all my life I have been a conscientious objector to the despicable arms trade and all things military. All the military miseries in the world are entirely the fault of the men and women of violence who love to slaughter, in war, people like me. So I am not impressed with them. Not one little bit. The world would be a happier place without those who espouse claiming land (or, MY sphere of influence) by force, coercion, violence. They are the problem. The Old Testament records it all so well and the New Testament shows how Christ's Kingdom is not of this world.
I and the other COs - Jesus Christ, glorious Gandhi, Donald Soper, Martin Luther King Jnr, magnificent Mohammed Ali (who went to prison for refusing to kill in Vietnam), Dalai Lama, Bruce Kent ... are part of the solution.
Where do you stand, Tony on Israel re-occupying all of Gaza to keep and to hold the lot, this time, permanently while it's business as usual for the West Bank? From the River to the Sea We Will Have It All For Ourselves.
