All wars are brutal, ugly and inhumane. And it seems to me that that ugliness has impacted DU.

10. There's a lot to think about in your post.

Being a mostly, if not entirely religious state poses unique questions. Look at what happened to Tibet. Though that was seemingly a strategic land grab, a lot of atrocities were committed in its takeover.

But I see a larger issue here regarding the UN as its job being during peacetime to resolve disputes rather than in battle, for which it is unsuited, and of course, veto power renders it mostly useless.

Some things, as you say, are beyond tolerable behavior, and worth discussing in the sense that they change countries for long periods, such as here in the US, where we are still searching airline passengers over what was IMO (and others) an intelligence failure, and that sounds familiar.

I don’t engage in threads that are both-sided, for the same reason that I avoid magats.

Perhaps, you can convince the mods that both-siderism is unacceptable to you, and I’ll sign on to that. I am against what happened to civilians in WWII, and any time and place. Because they set the precedent, in Dresden and Japan and in all of Hitler’s land, for what we see today.

Got a petition? Or can you find the procedure, or just message the mods (I didn’t see it in “Ask the Administrators” page and don’t want to spam them.

Start a thread and let the admins know about it?
Count me in.
Any division here is a win for the real thugs who would destroy our own democracy.
