A Truce
This has little to do with military aviation, however this is a site where I as a military aviator may vent my spleen.
Would it not be possible, for the sake of humanity, for the great war machine to call a temporary truce in Iraq and steer some of the vast recources of men and machines toward the desperate plight of those dying in Asia at this time? After all we are in the neighbourhood almost!
I accept that it is a naiive hope, but if any of the competing religions/nations were truly virtuous then this is a cause that should unite mankind and allow them to abandon their differences - perhaps only temporarily - and dedicate efforts to saving and rebuilding lives instead of mutual destruction.
Think about it, talk about it. If you are, or know, someone who has some power or a say in things, plant the seed, you never know what may grow from it.
Put another way - this is the rumour forum - have you heard that the war on terrorism and terrorism itself has been suspended while we pull together to help sort out this natural disaster?
I'm not a God botherer, nor even religious, just a paid up member of the human race.
