| LOL! I cannot for the life of me understand how people can have such an unrealistic view of "humanity".
"Its safe to say that the casualties of our dealings over the last half-century are astronomical to say the least. And how much of that consists of truly innocent victims. We have a good reason to act like this, we like how we live, and our biggest fear is that this way of life will change. So we keep on doing what we do best. What is the karmic/moral/ethical significance of all this? Are our lives more important to the people in these countries that we wreak havoc in? Do we weigh a few thousand to our own life and call it a day? Maybe we are more "important" so we can justify keeping ourselves in this bubble? Are we really "victims" of terrorism? Or have we brought this upon ourselves, and do we even have a right to take "revenge"?"
You seem to be caught up in some sort of psudo liberal/new age illusion. You shoot the word "karma" like it is some kind of "peace" bullet. Please read the Bhagavad gita and get back to me.... It is all about "WAR", "Karma" and the ethical arguments that war brings.
