I haven't read this thread but if it goes the way I suppose these things usually go I think it is naive to suggest that war doesn't solve problems ... if we hadn't fought the Nazi's/Japanese I suspect the world would be a very, very different place today (not least in the suspicion that I would not be alive).

Oh dear Kyu, perhaps if you read the thread then we can debate. We're at loggerheads again, I fear.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
