But as a student (and teacher) of history, you come to realize that people have been doing this to each other for as long as we have records and it will probably continue long after we're all gone.

But, wow. I always thought of myself as a pacifist because I couldn't handle the idea of violence, but now, like you, I think there are certain situations in which I could act violently. <BR/><BR/>For that reason I have empathy for people who fight back, although I don't think I would be violent in most circumstances, I imagine myself in the place of a mother who has lost her family to an occupying army and I wonder what I would do - that is, if the grief didn't eat me alive.<BR/><BR/>I hate this, warfare of any kind. I hate that we (Americans) are so removed from the results of "our" policy, our bombs.<BR/><BR/>One thing is certain. I did not bear my children to be fodder for a war machine, and I will do whatever it takes to protect them.LavaLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853877245976052565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10112235.post-1124782032785639882005-08-23T00:27:00.000-07:002005-08-23T00:27:00.000-07:00No easy answers from me either.
