Well it's the truth. Look at the world and what's going on, it's never been any different. I was born in the late 50s, the middle east was at war even back then. Russia was a threat to the rest of the world back then also.

And it wouldn't matter if the with refugees in Indonesia was resolved, or the Gaza strip was given back (now that it's a total ruin) to the Palestinians. Men would soon find some other reason to go to war and kill each other. That's what we do. We need to invent excuses to use our weapons to feel justified in splattering blood all over the planet.

Hooray for us. Can we please just have the nuclear war already and get this stupid thing over with already??
