The Iraq Solution May 14, 2006 Canada Sunday
Someone has observed that perhaps the reason for wars and killing
is that on the contrary such presents a very logical and rational choice as a means to progress opposing political, religious, geopolitical, ideological and other stances.
That the finality of death, war and such though disturbing is a logical though
unfortunate reality and hence solution. The idea of preemptive war is just
then perhaps an imagined extension of this logic.
Here is my response to that keen insight.
_____________________________________________________
Yes perhaps that is the situation and so do you suggest that rather than be rational
and logical that nations demonstrate some love or....??? irrationalness or a
superior sort of reason? other than the logic of death and war? Well an interesting
point. So we should thus tell our leaders not to be logical and rational and be....???
don't know how good that would go over though.
Well it certainly wouldn't work unless both or all sides agreed to be equally illogical
or irrational or loving then.... but hmmmm interesting....
if you could get both or all sides to do and commit to that then it just might work.....
but I'd say we'd have our work cut out for us to make that happen.
Well though too who could broker such a deal though? Who would dare suggest
something so..... illogical? Who could get away with something so ..???? bizarre....
Homer Simpson of course.... hee hee cool well perhaps not
maybe Lisa Simpson.... or Marge Simpson but ....????????
Actually despite how ridiculous it sounds I think it would work and it is the only
semi-logical solution that I have heard since 2003 or since 911 that I think
even has a chance of working .... so good on us all. Strange as it seems it has at least
some promise and hope. Well done

Perhaps once there was a civlization called humanity but
alas no more. We pay lip service to the notion of civilization
but when it comes right down to it... the lines are drawn between "citizenry" and econmics. Mankind therebye has not created now a society or civilizaton but basically has turned the world into one big global "MARKETPLACE". Everything seems parceled and "measured" and "advertized" and sold, and has a value or price or notion of price. Damages. Yet some of the most precious things that defy price have not recieved the support of the materialists. Even though they may indeed be necessities of a sort. The market place does not recognize or pay for them because in a sense it doesn't have to. The value of nature, art, music, health have all been turned it to commodities of sorts and disected and anaylized and even faith seems at times to have become a commodity.
So this talk of a new civilization is moot.
What we need is a "NEW MARKET PLACE" ..... the dominant factor as even law can be bought it seems, witness celebrity justice or microsoft monopolyness with their deep pockets. It seems it is the depth of the pocket then that determines justice now.... and maybe thats the way it has to be or if not then it might be addressed by looking honestly at the market place and perhaps giving it some semblance of "conscience". A conscienscious and responsible market place has now to be formed.
The new "Green Market Place".... we cannot have a new civilization therefore with out first changing the market place. Because people despite what they say and do.... vote with their dollars. A store may be unethical it seems to its workers and the environment but no ones seems to care if at the end of the day it has the lowest price. Quality costs though and you do tend to get what you pay for and it you want to live in a junk yard then don't buy green because caring and peace, nature, true art and harmony costs. They have value though we tend to disregard that in favor of expediency and the short term.
I don't know ...
What have I said...
nothing you perhaps didn't already know.
but that if we want a new civ though we will have to pay for it and make it pay too and still to leave room for the priceless.

Conclusion of a Presidents speech
"""" VII.
So -- in this my last good night to you as your President -- I thank you for the many opportunities you have given me for public service in war and peace. I trust that in that service you find some things worthy; as for the rest of it, I know you will find ways to improve performance in the future.
You and I -- my fellow citizens -- need to be strong in our faith that all nations, under God, will reach the goal of peace with justice. May we be ever unswerving in devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the Nation's great goals.
To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing aspiration:
We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love. """"
Dwight D Eisenhower, 1961
