Ol' Bin Laden might have started it, but geopolitics will finish it....and these countries have been completely messed up since time began, so whats the difference??
Is sitting on your honches, abusing and being abused, wiping your bum with your hand,,,being totally uneducated and living in a mud house, being miserable and mean to everyone including yourself,,,are things qualitatively different from living in a war zone?
The kids are going to grow up to more of the same anyway, right??
Or, do we try to turn them into productive human beings living on this planet where the year is 2010 AD instead of 2010 BC?
