So invading and declaring a democratic country didn't seem to make matters any better -- actually seems to have made matters much worse.

Personally I would just rather we figure out how to avoid that region completely. Is it avoidable? Basically you have a region who's only real resource is oil (aka energy) -- is the cost of this energy really worth it?

Can we have religions that aren't "open to interpretation"? Is religion just the excuse, if so why? What benefit would someone have to use religion this way? Or, is it just that humans are so arrogant and unbelievably stupid that they can only justify existance by killing each other?

I look at the world and feel sorrow, realizing that is it very unlikely the human race will survive and expand beyond this planet (which might be a good thing as we clearly are not capable nor worthy of such endevours). Our irresponsible use of oil as an energy (and all that is related around it) source will ultimately extinguish the human race by about 2050 anyway (we've successfully accelerated global warming) so one way or the other it's unlikely the human race will survive much longer.

What is the solution? Time is clearly NOT on our side.

What is most depressing? There is clearly some potential in the human race, but that potential is such a small minority that it is unlikely they'll survive the ignorance and stupidity of the majority.

The planet is not as fragile as we like to believe it is, but as history has shown, the planet is very capable of extinquishing most of it's life and restarting a new. The daily distractions of Iran, Iraq, Korea, etc. etc. are just yet more confirmations that we'll never learn from our mistakes.

This is not a discussion about Global warming, if you choose not to believe it then you clearly don't subscribe to logic and physics.

1. Data, tons of data to demonstrate the increase in the earths temp 3.8 degree increase is enough to wipe out most of the human race, 5 degrees to complete extinguish and we've successfully accelerated this from happening over hunders of thousands of years to just a hundred years.

2. No rocket science involve, you extract energy from the ground and convert it and dump it into the atmosphere where is doesn't just magically "disappear", do this 24/7 for 100 years while increasing the volume yearly into a finite space (yes the atmosphere is finite) and what do you get? Tell ya what, if you don't believe this, go close your garage door, turn on your car and sit in it for a while to see how long you live.
