Pignato››     A  war  is  in  progress  in  the›MIDDLE EAST, with people dying on both›sides.   When   will  man  learn  that›violence   begets  violence and rarely›solves  anything  for  any  length  of›time.  I  didn't want us to go to war,›specially  not  for  OIL,  but I think›there  is  a  deeper  and  more  valid›reason as well. Should we have allowed›the 4th largest army in the world, run›by  a  man  who has grandiose ideas of›being the saint of the ARABS, and, who›in  the  past  8  year  war  with IRAN›showed  an  utter  disdain   for HUMAN›LIVES  and  values, get control of the›world  by  controlling the MIDDLE EAST›(and  the  oil  reserves too)? I think›sooner  or  later  we would have had a›much  more  horrendous  war  with many›more  lives  lost. I don't know if I'm›right,  but  I  cling to the hope that›after  this  is  over,  the  PALESTINE›question   is  somehow  resolved,  and›peace can reign again!›Anyhow, thats this mans opinion...LETS›ALL PRAY FOR PEACE!››          ******************›
