If there was something inside people that showed them the right from the wrong then we would not have wars
This is true only assuming that people never do what they already know to be wrong. Maybe the prostitites and war criminals know what they are doing is wrong, but the wrongness does not factor enough into the analysis to make them choose a different path.
These suicide assholes in Iraq have something inside them?
If you want to be an intellectual, then you have to be objective. Those "assholes" may have more inside of them than we can imagine. Many of them have had family killed by us. Look at the pictures of the dead kids and think about how you would feel if they were your kids.

Then imagine if it was your country who got its ass kicked by a enemy too big to defeat. On top of this, your life probably sucks, you have no hope, and every day is misery. These circumstances start to make death seem like a better choice. We call it unfair and dirty fighting, but our perspective is skewed, because of the imbalance of power. If a guy twice my size jumps on me and starts beating me up, I could run away, but I first might kick him in an unsportsmanlike place or throw dirt in his eyes. These people have no "fair" means of fighting us. If the Chinese invaded the US and stomped us militarily, whatever Americans were left would be perpetrating the worst dirty tricks possible on the Chinese invaders, and we would call them great patriots for doing so.
And before someone calls me a Red Commie, I am not rooting for the bad guys; I am rooting for peace. My cousin sits on a 50-cal guarding Haliburton convoys. War and profits always go together; neither are a Christian endeavor. |
