I think this war is about killing people.

I think World War II was about containing a political movement that would have changed the course of Western Civilization. Hitler was on the attack as was General Tojo. Maybe the both of them were provoked into war? I don't know. I've had long conversations with people who have claimed that Hitler was trying to right a wrong that had been done to the German people. That always seemed like an over simplification to me. And, similar things were said about the Japanese with what was known as the Yellow Embargo. But, I still don't know. Things get pretty complicated and confused after a few years. I have an idea American people want their innocence back and I sincerely believe there will be a backlash against the free wheeling attitude our politicians have expressed during our life times.

I want to live in a world where peace is given due respect. I hate the warring. If God has a plan that includes destroying a people, let [Him] be responsible for the slaughter and destruction. I don't want it done in my name. I don't want the blood on my hands. If God wants to punish people because of the chance of their birth, let [Him] do the dirty work on [His] own. {He] doesn't need my support.
