The Gulf War in Iraq, under President George H. W. Bush, in 1991, had about 100 U.S. military casualties. The global community was relieved that this ended in a very short period of time and he has my blessings to rest in peace.
Unfortunately, under President George Junior, the “oops of (supposedly) wrong information regarding weapons of mass destruction” took us into another Iraq war from 2003 to 2011 which created thousands of military deaths, PTSD, suicides, 400,000 civilian casualties, millions of refugees, and the after-effects are still churning death and destruction everywhere.
In the spirit of a war-less existence, I pray everyday for leaders, mainly males, to not “jump the gun” as you have done for centuries. If you keep this bad behavior up, guys, a natural disaster is going to make your nukes look like child’s play.
We could easily go out, like the dinosaurs, with an asteroid. Mother Nature believes in real peace or else.
