Whatever happened to live and let be? Mark Twain expresses similar sentiments in his own inimitable way All war must be just the killing of strangers against whom you feel no personal animosity; strangers whom, in other circumstances, you would help if you found them in trouble, and who would help you if you needed it. - "The Private History of the Campaign That Failed" Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out...and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel. ..And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man"--with his mouth. - What Is Man? A wanton waste of projectiles. - The Art of War speech, 1881 To be a patriot, one had to say, and keep on saying, " Our country, right or wrong," and urge on the little war. Have you not perceived that that phrase is an insult to the nation. - "Glances at History," 1906

Whatever happened to live and let be? You really wanna go to war with a billion Moslems in the world? we already are at war with the political terrorist groups that claim "Islam " and the sharia and jhiad as their rallying point . I thought that was obvious ? As for being at war with 1bil followers of Islam ...please get real for once . Both China and Russia have as well their own problems with these rebel fanatics.
