It needs all religion to be thrown away and all races being taught their is but one Prime Creator and He created everyone. It needs the whole of humanity to wake up and realise we are all one race, the human race. We are all the same family. And, until such time as all that happens, there is always going to be wars fought in most countries. Freedom isn't free. There is always a price to pay and a fight to obtain it, as we are seeing in the middle east now. <br />I hate war and, it will only end when mankind learns it's true compassion and humanity for his own once more.<br />A good read, thanks Susie.Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
