People do not want to get involved in a WAR. People on this list have been
brainwashed (or more politically correct "memetically programmed") with the
word "kill" for some time (just four examples from the same person):

This may explain some anti-WAR first reactions.

The other explanation is Maslow's incredibly strong need for belonging. I

Microbes

axiom 3. I am curious what you think. Do you mind -- in the worst case --
talking to one person only?
