I think this is untrue. If the koran is so peaceful then why 9/11? Why the beheadings? ---That is because, (same thing with the bible and other religous books) the koran was altered/alienated to serve their purpose, so that they could prove to others that they were in the right....similar to what OBL di

Thanks, DR.G, i've been thinking about this (oh, and yes i have read Brehm) , i've proposed this theory of mine on a few other articles here that pertain to similar topics, but fall flat... this is pretty much how i view the NK issue, and Iran,etc...

KB-- Its a natural habit [for lack of a better word], humans are by nature savage, and invasion, subjugation,etc... are our deepest most natural instincts, it isn't just the white people, look at the mongols, the chinese, magyrs, and other non white ethnic groups that invaded and conquered the former inhabitants of the areas they invaded [if there were any]

Dabe-- I think its more that if it doesn't affect you, ignore it.....let those who are affected and such resolve it, you're just trying to get on with life,work,bills,etc...

I think, though it could be diplomatic suicide, would be ideal, be a asian cold war, and could result in a few pot shots. It could force each nation to make more of an effort in negotiations, it would definantly make europe S**T their pants....
