Maybe I didn't ask the right question earlier: What planet do you live on? I'm on the 3rd from a star called Sol out in a minor arm of a middling galaxy called by locals the Milky Way.

On this planet, none of this works. Hasn't ever through 10,000 years of civilization. Given the nature of the human beast, isn't ever likely to. We have no lack of ostriches that think it a virtue to stick their heads in the sand and not see what is happening, but that does neither we nor them any good. They go into the ovens with the rest of us.

Now that boy is more on your side of these questions than mine. And yet he appears to be arguing that Islam is so devoted to domination that it cannot coexist with other religions. What do you say to that? Is he wrong? (If you look at my response, I claimed he was. I could be wrong, though.)

what causes the actual breakdown of peace.
Many things cause the actual breakdown of peace. Alliances. Ambitions (how do you eliminate THAT and keep anything we would call human?). Religions. Fear. Greed. Even sex on occasion.

Speaking of greed, what is your cure for it? That the US and Europe give up almost everything they have to level world wealth? How much chance do you think that proposal would stand either here or in Europe? And, if something like a free enterprise economic system were adopted worldwide, how long do you think that condition would last?

Should we give that wealth up? We didn't get here by luck and accident. Try generations of study, hard work, and sacrifice.

Those vetoes? ALL of them related to Israel. And I have long said that US ME policy needed serious rework. I think I posted to you on the subject.

But since we're here: US ME policy is dictated by the Jewish Lobby. How do you propose to break that stranglehold? Until you solve that, the rest is just hot air.
