Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine, sang that band, no names mentioned. Anyway, im pleased that they feel that way and I would quite happily sign the certificate when it comes to catapulting them off this green and pleasant planet. Maybe then, the Radio stations will stop playing “shiney happy people.”

I am often heard saying, “If man wants peace, he should prepare for war.”, which is current everyday. Unfortunately, we seem to have opposing views of what peace should entail. Afterall, why should you or I adopt the beliefs and cultures of another country and vice-versa? Maybe a little tolerence would make a change sometimes. But finding peace is difficult, probably impossible, to achieve. It makes me laugh when I watch the Sci-Fi movies set 100 years or so from now, when all belong to the United Space Federation or something equally titled. I dont see it somehow. Well, not without finding a religion for all, and a way of life that is going to feed all regardless of profit, loss and whatever else. The list would be damn long! And who would rule?

Since September 11, much critisism has been rained on countries that are collaborating together to oppose “terrorism”, and as usual, time has quelled peoples fire towards achieving the goal. People get tired very quickly and no-one really wanted to be in this situation anyway. Some would argue that Al-Qaiada committed the act inorder to strike first before coalition forces removed the Taliban in Afghanistan so that oil could be pumped through there and onto Pakistan, thus keeping their power and existence in tact. It does however repeat the comments that everything is OIL , which was the reason behind such conflicts, like the Gulf war in 91, Suez Crisis and the inability to go North with the pipes because of the Chechan conflict. Even WW2 battles were focused around the need for Oil as Nazi Germany was met on the Eastern and African fronts to deny them the logistical means to rule. Without such resources, even America would be hard pressed to serve outside their country. So, when reading articles on the current situations around the world where western powers have intervened, it is worth remembering that although a great emphasis is placed on the people, rightly so, you have to ask what the economical issues are as I guarrantee that you it will effect you. History WILL repeat itself!

So, more of the same on Friday? Of course. Things wont change and even if they do, they wont last. It isnt quite the end of the world, so Im off to enjoy myself. That doesnt mean I am going to sing!!! In a nutshell, the moral issue is only a starting block.
