Oh that sixteen year old Palestinian boy was burned alive

133. Thanks for shedding some light on the situation.

There is far too much justification of current day wars by saying, "Well, this group and that group haven't gotten along since (Name a year shortly after 100 Ad, or even before.)"

Here in the USA, already there have been revelations of scenarios that the CIA could use to cause regional mini-civil wars here in California. You have the lumber folks vs environmentalists, the city vs rural citizens, then there are the newly arrived immigrants against either everyone else or some segment of their own immigration movement (El Salvadorians against Guatamalens, for instance.)

And should those wars break out, is it really valid to say, "Well, Americans have been fighting each other since April 1861?" That statement would be a total misrepresentation of our society.

But the same mentality tries to tell us that the Iraqi people ave always been tooth and nail against each other, or the Tutsis and Hutu have always been against one another. When the reality in both those societies has indeed been about the many instances of inter-marriage, until underground and outside interests colluded to bring about the demise of their adaptive societies.
