Historically, the just-war tradition—a set of mutually agreed rules of combat—commonly evolves between two similar enemies. When enemies differ greatly because of different religious beliefs, race, or language, war conventions have rarely been applied. It is only when the enemy is seen to be a people with whom one will do business in the following peace

that tacit or explicit rules are formed for how wars should be fought and who they should involve. In part the motivation is seen to be mutually beneficial—it is preferable to remove any underhand tactics or weapons that may provoke an indefinite series of vengeance acts. Nonetheless, it has been the concern of the majority of just war theorists that such asymmetrical morality should be denounced, and that the rules of war should apply to all equally; that is, just war theory should be universal.

The just-war tradition is as old as warfare itself. Early records of collective fighting indicate that some moral considerations were used by warriors. They may have involved consideration of women and children or the treatment of prisoners. Commonly they invoked considerations of honour: some acts in war have always been deemed dishonourable, whilst others have been deemed honourable. Whilst the specifics of what is honourable differ with time and place, the very fact of one moral virtue has been sufficient to infuse warfare with moral concerns.

That is all well and good but what is it in us that makes us aggressive, why must fight or flight be the controlling aspect of our nature. It is clear through the ages both through things as large as Colonisation and as simple as a fight in a playground that we are more vicious than any other animal out there. We feed on our own species misery and depravation, using each other as tools for material self gain and psychological egocentric expansion. Ulitmately this leads to both our advancement as a race and the destruction of each others people. No expansion can be sustained ulimately. It is the true reflection of the human species, we are never satisfied and always end up burning out either ourselves or the environment around us.

Look at the Congo, Rwanda all these places subjected to terrible, terrible Imperialism exploited by European conquest for hundreds of years only to be then exploited by their own people, worse than any invading force. You have to wonder why? Well, you don’t but we probably should. Why, is it that the savages are able to sweep in and take power from the people and subvert all resources away from where they are needed to ultimately strengthen and enrich the land and people around them? How come even when they arm the people from the region, these same people will go out and kill friends and family who they grew up with? MONEY!!!! Starvation fear of retribution on themselves and their own families.

Money and fear making war happen and the world, go around.

Ahh, money. The greatest and worst curse the world has ever endured. Money is another reflection of the warring human soul. It clearly shows the Split personality that we all face every second of every day. Millions of people dying every second because they have no money and millions of people making millions of dollars every second because they have so much but cannot see outside their own limited world of excess. The billionaires are the same as the soldiers killing their own people, except they are doing it through inaction. They cannot, do not or will not see the madness with which we are all warring through.

Most leaders who are out war mongering, you can take your pick from any of them, are either genuinely crazy or are being controlled by the people who want more money. Hopefully, as time goes by over this blog we will be able to start linking one place to another place and show what’s happening in the world from another skewed point of view, the one of ignorance to what is actually happening in reality. To believe any news that is being reported to us from regions we cannot see or communicate with is another form of madness that has been around for years. People have asked in the past of the German people, how were they able to let the things that happened happen. Simple, propaganda, misinformation,selfishness and fear is the answer. This could happen anywhere to any people or race and is happening as you read this right now but we are just not being effected by it and so not being bombarded with images and imformation of these crimes. The information is out there but we are not being force fed it, which means it might as well not be happening.
