LOGIC
War will force both sides to improve their weapons of destruction. War will destroy structures, giving people work when rebuilding. War will kill people, but people can be replaced.

EMOTION
Why not put the money and effort into space exploration, we could learn much more that way. We could build structures in space and other planets giving people more challenging environments to work in. People can be replaced physically but their knowledge and expertise cannot be replaced. Do not kill anyone, because that person may have the knowledge or expertise to save your life.

TRUTH
I was very young during the war that was going on during the early part of nineteen forties, but I remember the air raid sirens, I remember the commotion that it caused around me, I remember my parents taking us to an air raid shelter, I remember that the lights went out and everyone had difficulty breathing, I remember that when we came out of the air raid shelter I saw what I thought was a doll on the sidewalk I did not see the head and there was one arm hanging from the wires that were above the street.
Years later I heard my parents tell the story of us being in the bomb shelter to their friends, and I learned that the 'doll' was a little girl that had been close to where a bomb had exploded.

WAR
If you have been in a war tell us how 'glorious' it was
If you have not experienced war first hand then go to a country where war is raging and then tell us how 'glorious' war is.

PEACE
I am against crime, killing, destruction, and war. I do not understand why anyone would want such behavior in people. Humans have been fighting with each other for thousands of years, will they ever find out that it is more productive to work together.

LIES
Is Saddam lying about not having weapons of mass destruction?
If he is stupid, then perhaps he is trying to cover up something that he should not. How can you impress upon people that telling the truth is the best policy.

PHILOSOPHY
United we stand, divided we fall. I hope the United Nations will find the truth, and the consequences will be handled in a UNITED manner.
