    Never said I support one side or the other … I think they’re all religious nuts

    What I do find repugnant is the death of any human for completely stupid reasons, especially if the deaths are caused by other humans.

    I don’t support religions or religious ideology … but I do respect all human life regardless of who believes in what.

    This a completely stupid situation because no deaths should be taking place on any side and the world should just step in as the global referee, get these people to stop, sit down, negotiate and figure out a solution that doesn’t involve having to kill one side or the other. If we’re going to spend billions and trillions on bombs and guns for this problem … then we can invest in peaceful solutions rather than in trying to dance our way to nuclear war and killing far more people than those in the Middle East.
