    I’ve found that whenever you separate a group of people (for instance the whole world) into us and them you will get fighting. Whether the seperation is based on color, gender, religion (like it is in Iraq and the current never ending conflict with Israel and Palestine), geographical location etc. Haven’t you noticed that its not very often that you see a group of friends get into a serious fight with themselves? It is always against someone else. Us and them… it ruins the world.

    Absolutely not!!! I really suggest becoming a bit more educated about the world (where are ‘places like that’ anyway?’). Iraq before the US invasion was a peaceful country with plenty of stability but it has now been raped and pillaged (ie. invaded).

    Why do you say that they always go to war? The last couple of wars have been with the USA, so they haven’t gone to war more than us. The reason that they have problems in Iraq is because they are not really one people, they are three. The Kurds in the north and the Shiites and Sunnis in the south. After World War 1 the allies redrew the borders and decided that now all of a sudden these three people were going to be one. Needless to say it didn’t work very well. I think that the idea that the middle east is more war like is exaggerated. Look how many wars the US has been in the last few decades. It’s just that our wars take place a long way away from our homes. The exception being Israel. They are at war because they got their country by taking it from the Palestinians that liv
