Why do we have wars? (Photo)

[TBF]

20. I hear you -

my dad is a disabled veteran of the VietNam "conflict". When you live with someone who is disabled for years it really hits home. Most of the folks who gleefully declare war and send off the troops are not spilling much of their own blood for the "cause".

Occasionally something is so heinous that folks have to intervene. No question. But mostly I see a country that manufactures reasons to be involved or interestingly only wants to rescue folks in places where they have "economic interests". I am still waiting for someone to think about the conditions of women in Saudi Arabia. Sadly as long as SA is cooperative with our major oil companies nothing is going to change there.
