So it's happened, eh?

The West decides to make Libya their newest target practise zone. Aircraft storm Libyan tanks and positions while Tomahawk cruise missiles rain death upon the hapless loyalist forces. Meanwhile, the nation's embattled leader has declared that the fight will be a long one, and that would only mean more bloodshed is on its way.

Honestly, everyone's to blame.

If the leader had decided to listen to the people and let them choose someone new to take his place, then the UN Security Council wouldn't have had to let the votes of implementing the no-fly zone decree be cast. Then surely there wouldn't be anyone dying or losing limbs or whatever.

Mankind has never stopped leaving a trail of destruction behind it. How many wars have been fought since the dawn of early civilization? How many lives have been lost? What were the results of the conflicts that we have waged against each other? Have they ever been a boon?

It despairs me to see that we only solve our problems through aggression. The more powerful you are, the higher you'll go. And the more people you can submit to your every whim and fancy.

Even Al Capone put it well in words: "[You get more with] a kind word and a gun than just a kind word alone."

How much longer do we have to prove that before we can repent?

Pretty soon, we might just have a Third World War in our hands, mark my words. If this keeps up we're all going to be extinct in no time.
