<< Well, part of being human is to try to figure out why. >> One of many parts. You give it too much importance. << People who simply be are more like chimps than humans >> Strange dichotomy. Either one is consumed with "why", or they are a chimp. I am not totally disagreeing with you. Like most, I have spent much time pondering life, and wondering why the Earth is the only planet that may have intelligent life. But, life is to enjoyed, whether that enjoyment is your work, your hobby, your family, your religion, or discussing how many virgins every living being is promised in the afterlife. But.... getting back on topic, I feel that Iran would be an excellent clandestine target for our war against terrorism. The people seem to be more pro-western and pro-reformist, than ever. There is a moderate government in place, except for the Hard-liners. If we could, somehow, rid Iran of the Hard-liners, it would have a huge impact against terrorism.

Chimps almost already have limited human rights in EU. Btw, EU seem to have decided that "terrorists" cannot be handed over to legal systems with capital beheading punishment, another human rights. Suits us nordic nations well, we do not need to exit EU for that reason, includes chimps. Ilmarinen But we are a little pixxed that the airport we helped to build was destryoed, as well as all that health data was confiscated, as well as the message which was left was "I will fxck you mother". (somebody had taken the trouble to learn how to write that in arabic, always a sign of a chance for a better future) Also that the door was unlocked and still the macho guys had to blow up the wall.
