Thanks. Interesting. For some people, the war probably has a start date based on something written on a cave wall.

I live in Utah. At one point, this land was not part of the United States neither was it part of one nation under god. And yet, I feel like it has been long enough and this is my home. Some people live in Atlanta where the Muskogee and Cherokee lived. I am in no position to say when the boundaries were right and when they weren't. Nor am I able to say they were drawn incorrectly. I will never have all the information. I am empathetic to people caught up in this. I am not empathetic to sympathizers of terrorist crimes against women and children. That includes terrorism that gets women and children killed, not just the killing of women and children.

For what it worth, I have no empathy for neocons in my country either. This whole thing sucks.

the war starts with segregation. segregated schools, segregated churches - there are still black churches, Hispanic speaking congregations, Chinese wards - segregated church, segregated neighborhoods.

I'm very lucky, live in the most diverse part of America - Houston has no ethnic majority, nearly one-in-four residents are foreign-born. My neighborhood, my school - all launguages/cultures/ethnicities going on. Not the local LDS wards - they segregated everyone into different ethnic congregations, but for everyone else, it is a big melting pot which is beautiful.

This is how you fix it - intermarry, mix up neighborhoods and schools, remove segregation and you no longer have "Palestinian" or Jewish" or "Mexican" or "Black" - mix it all up and the problems go away.
