We have that dark side we always need to watch e.g. Hitler. In Africa the kids do unspeakable things like cutting people arms off.

Lord of the flies.

I was raised in a tough town and had to fight as a kid.

I have never hurt a fly, not my nature, but I have seen it all. I was always on watch for gangs. Had the largest gang in my town after me once when I broke up with the gang leaders sister-lol.

There is too much blind hate in the ME. I can't even get calm people to be logical let alone desparately poor and uneducated people caught in a situation where they do not understand the enemy and war is what they usually use to solve problems. This blood honor thing!! If a women gets raped her family is all shamed-what sense does that make-lol.

And that logic is part of this equation.

Africa and the ME have lots of tribes that fight each other. Rawanda: ? and Tutsi.

Putting our men over there just infuriated them more and gave them a target. Too complicated to know what to do?

Like onepath, I think this situation is worse than people think.
