Pretty Grim
A look through the news today is pretty grim. What with Lebanon and Israel lobbing bombs at one another and killing innocent people and other countries in and outside the region lining up in support of one or the other country it is not a pleasant picture.

I have two comments:

1. It's time human rights was made a higher priority, and

2. There has to be a third party keeping these countries at each others throats, and I suspect that to find who that is you should follow the money. Who is profiting from this war?

There's an important publication you can download at the Church of Scientology International Human Rights Office web site called The Cause of Conflicts by L. Ron Hubbard. I really suggest you read it. It sheds a new light on what has been considered the "normal" way countries interact.

L. Ron Hubbard one wrote:

"One could not exist in a society where oneself or one’s family or friends were at the mercy of some who went about casually taking lives…..

"The stupid, the evil and the insane seek to solve their real or imagined problems with murder. And they have been known to do it for no reason at all.

"Get behind any demostratedly effective program that handles this threat to Mankind and push. Your own survival could depend upon it."

I've also heard David Miscavige, the Chairman of the Board of Relgious Technology Center, commenting on the futility of war in resolving conflicts.

I think it is time to discover what is behind on the conflicts on Earth and actually make progress toward world peace.
