I am glad to hear that entire nations are speaking out against the use of "Total War" weaponry.

I hope it will make a difference.

I shudder to think of the things hidden away in the armories of the World. I don't like it...in my heart I believe that if someone will use any dread weapon they are just one step away from using the next in the pile.

Peaceful solutions need to be found before it goes even further than it has. I think how wonderful it would be if one day we could beat all our swords into plowshares. I am maybe too much of a realist to think that day will ever come for everyone,but I know that waging war upon the innocent is wrong.

I hope the signatory countries will apply serious pressure over the issue.

  Years ago I read a goofy but entertaining novel..."Mission Earth".
  
  There was a part in the story where a bunch of women got together and raised hell until the U.N granted them the right "not to be beaten or thermonuclear bombed".
  
  I think that's a great idea!!!!
  
  Good people who really care are gonna have to start speaking up for what's right
  
  I think the great majority of us know right from wrong. We need to restore some decency to the world.

    It does not seem that our government can tell right from wrong anymore.

      I assume you're talking about the U.S. So when was our government ever able to tell right from wrong? The native tribes who warred with one another here before the arrival of Europeans? The Europeans, who killed off those already occupying the land? Those who purchased and owned slaves? Those who limited the participation of blacks and women in society? When was that time that our government could tell right from wrong?

        That's why it is so necessary to speak up about some things.

  alakazam: "I hope the signatory countries will apply serious pressure over the issue."
  
  They usually try, but the countries that are armed to the teeth and hope to rule the world one day just shrug it off.

    Americans need to take back Their Country.
    
    You know it...every American I know personally knows it.
    
    We have a Federal Authority unresponsive to the Will of the People in the United States.
    
    Strange Days indeed.
