It took him to 62 to realize that all lives have value? Well, better late than never, I guess. But really, what is his point about war? That it's sad that civilians suffer? Well hasn't that been true for all of history? Is he arguing that only this war is wrong? Because, 'I do not really care any longer what the cause is,' certainly says otherwise. It says that 'All war is foul' and while that is true enough, it is certainly sometimes just. I'm not saying it is in Iraq. However, just what is the point here? I mean, so, what there shouldn't have been a Revolutionary War, ever, anywhere? There shouldn't have been a civil war anywhere, ever? There shouldn't have been peasant revolts anywhere, ever? What about stopping genocide? So, is at least that okay? Well, apparently, no, '... watched the wars in the former Yugoslavia and the Nato bombing of Belgrade in 1999, I do not really care any longer what the cause is.' Is the message, let's all shut up and take it so no one ever dies a violent death in defending something they believe in or in stopping the exploitation of a mass of humans by another mass? All creedos are equal? So, if that's the case, how do you get the other guy to agree to put down his gun? Hrrm. Human nature bugs me. Yup, quit the warring, peace out.
