MSNBC - A Heroic Life

The power of emotion never fails to amaze me. Why would a person leave a 3.8 million contact and the access to Rangers cheerleaders to walk into war? Is it patriotism or is it philanthropy (well he wanted to help the Afghans)? Any case I think he is an outstanding and unique individual but the sad part he is no more. As a society we should be ashamed that we are losing valuable lives over war. 5000 years of history, trips to mars, technology to splice genes (boy we have smart people in this world) but we cannot resolve conflicts by sitting at a table and talking and this applies to both sides of the table. I think there are too many divisions in this world and have to unite. The only way to do that is to create a common threat a threat that encircles the whole human race. Hey may be we can tell the world that giant spiders are taking over the world or there are aliens on mars that want to kick our ass and said mean things about Allah etc. I'm sure the media can create and hype these issues, after all they convinced some of us to watch Anna Nicole Smith (If they can do that they are omnipotent), and the whole world would be pissed at mars. We might have a few rednecks trying to shoot at mars using a binoculars or a couple of jihads trying to blow it up but it would be harmless fun. I think we are spending too many resources and too much time fighting against each other; this is the time to create a common enemy and divert our anger towards it or them. To all the sane people who thought this blog was stupid - I know some of this does not make sense but I was upset that a good man had to die for an unworthy cause and some of the points are decent enough to be given a thought.
