I don't agree with your point, Peter, because cause and responsibility are not the same.
You assume they are. And if you assume this is the case most of us are damned.

Using your arguments, if you are trying to stop them, Peter, and have a live a 'pure' lifestyle, you are probably not trying hard enough; so you too are responsible by your own logic, in that you could do more to stop wars. Additionally, few live outside the domains of capitalism and mortal conflict; and most of them, either directly or indirectly, live war-supporting 'lifestyles'.

So using your augments we are all like these war-supporting Yuppies. But we are not. And in fact they are not conscious supporters of war either. They are trying to do some good under the constraints of the system that has them in chains, albeit soft comfortable chains.

We are all in chains really but we can sing in our chains, like the big blue sea, like the blues singers sang in their chains and achieved freedom, but only the freedom to be oppressed like everyone else was a possibility, and not even a possibility for so many souls.

The sea, if it sings loud enough all over and everywhere, shall rise up and sweep all over all the land, to break through all the chains that have held it back , and recede to reveal a new world cleansed of all the suffering, violence, brutality, suffering and subjugation. But we must build our fleets arks to withstand the mightiest of forces, with great care, patience, cunning and secrecy, and let the sea chase the oppressors, naked, up their castles and palaces in the highest mountains and volcanoes - where they will be cold, hungry, naked, and imprisoned, until they see the light

Silence in the face of evil is accomodation and collaboration. But thank you for the 'Inner Peace' take--that's part of what's wrong now. VICTORY TO THE IRAQI FORCES!
(See...I don't believe in Peace AT ALL.)
