The best way to honor those who have given their lives to protect our freedom is to make sure that all the killings, torture, and injustice that has taken over the globe comes to an end once and for all.
As I see all those families grieving over their loved ones who have been killed during the past wars and as I see all those young and otherwise once perfectly healthy men and women who are now agonizing with disabilities and brain trauma it makes me wonder how much longer we as the human race are going to allow all this to go on and how many more wars await us in the future because we are not willing or able to change our ways.
When I look around all I see is hatred and distrust amongst different people in different parts of the World. I have been wondering why it is that all these people hate each other so much and what makes them think that they are entitled to destroy everyone else who might be different from them. I have come to the conclusion that normal people around the World can get along with each other fine, its mainly the fanatics and extremists that are causing all the hatred and the killings, but we are somewhat brainwashed as to whom we think a fanatic or extremist is since each side does their best to portray their enemy as fanatics and extremists in order to justify killing them.
In reality we are all fanatics and extremists to one extent or the other. Whether our fanaticism and extremism is based on religion, politics, race, or just plain hunger for money and power we all have a habit of putting those interests above basic principles such as Universal Human Rights or true Democracy.
There is a simple solution to ending all this killings around the World, one that is so simple that probably is going to sound idealistic, but in a way it might be the only way out of the current mess we are in:
Lets pass a bill at the United Nations requiring all governments to have to abide by and respect the Universal Human Rights and the principals of true Democracy, as of this day any Country that doesnโt want to commit to this should be kicked out of the United Nations and be subjected to sanctions and ultimately regime change. Off course we might have to use force to enforce this bill at the beginning, but at least we know that it will be the last time that there is going to be any killings.
