Actually it is the world problem in a nutshell. Here is a group united by a single, at least fairly consuming interest. But even with our Common Cause, we can and do get very heated with each other over other subjects. Extrapolate that into the world. Where there is no Common Cause. Each nation and each group within each nation pursuing their own, competing interests. Some, many, of those interests have NO basis in morals or conscience. Here in the USA TOO! Today we have a group of possibly millions that swear to KILL every one of us here and in Europe. Other places there are groups willing to kill all of their own dissenting citizens.
I know that "Can't we all just get along?" is a joke. But the historical and realistic answer is NO! Never have, NEVER WILL.
We can pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq, but we WILL be fighting somewhere else. Very possibly Iran where we would rue that fact that we would't have them surrounded like we do now.
Bullies pick on and beat up the weaker countries or kids in a school yard.
Man IS an animal. Peace is fleeting and temporary, war is the common condition.
