I agree... I try to do what is best for me, despite how hard it is.
I *AM* European. (%50 Ukrainian)... And maybe it is partially because of my family history that I don't agree with wars... Let's see... My Grandparents on my dad's side made it out of Europe in the mid 30's by scattering and meeting up by fate in France. Then they took the boat to Canada, went to Winnipeg (like all good Ukrainian-Canadians), and started raising a family. The horror stories, tho, of those conflicts around WWI and II... My Gransmother can still remember the sound of a carpet-bombing. My grandpa (god rest his soul) was forced to serve in the russian army in the russo-finnish conflict just prior to WWII.... They got away before all the horrible things happened as Hitler was coming to Russia...
So yes... I have real problems with a world that is driven to that extreme. There is always an agressor, however... I do agree that the world has to stand up for justice, and possibly meet evil with counter-force... It's just the image people outside the US have of the US... You will never understand, simply because you're an insider. But a great deal of people are frightened of what is going to come to pass... Especially when a simple American pull out from something like an international tribune for war crimes (yet another case of 'best-ineterest' for the US) can cause the idea of Justice to flounder. That's why I'm bitter, and angry that things aren't being done that I see (and many people see) need to be done.
