Last night's rocket attack on Tripoli is inexplicable. A civilian metropolitan area of around 2 million people, Tripoli sustained 22 to 25 bombings last night. Why are Europeans bombing and killing and destroying that city? I dont even understand why they are taking part in the rebellion in peaceful Lybia. Are Europeans a race so bloodthirsty that needs to smell blood for its mental balance? My Father thought so. Nietzsche said: A good war needs no cause.
The Russians were right: the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a danger to humanity. Founded in 1945 as an armed alliance of European armies in response to imagined Soviet aggression, it survived the liquidation of the Soviet Union. Organizations dont dissolve themselves, armies dont disband but will find new wars to fight. Like Xenophon's mercenary Ten Thousand that kept fighting as a body even after the end of the Persian crown war. When the pointless army made its appearance in Bizance raiding peaceful Greek cities, whole Greece started worrying and shaking. It was the Spartans who saved Greece, they sent ships and hired them to guard their empire.

J you can't blame all Europeans. Much of the the Right and Left are against it. This is a war conducted by the elites. The common man has no say in this. For example, a Frenchman or Italian can see that the destruction of Libya will only lead to more refugees on the the principle that 'you broke it, you own it.' The phony Libyan war must count as the most senseless war in a long time. Obama had the common sense to pull his chestnuts from this fire in time.

You are right that it is not ALL the Europeans. The Germans, for a change, are not participating in this massacre. But there seems to be something in the White race that will not allow them to leave others in peace.
Oswald Spengler on "Is World peace Possible?" as well as race and war:
"Talk of world peace is heard today only among the white peoples, and not among the much more numerous colored races. This is a perilous state of affairs. When individual thinkers and idealists talk of peace, as they have done since time immemorial, the effect is always negligible. But when whole peoples become pacifistic it is a symptom of senility. Strong and unspent races are not pacifistic.
...
s long as man continues to evolve there will be wars. Should the white peoples ever become so tired of war that their governments can no longer incite them to wage it, the earth will inevitably fall a victim to the colored men, just as the Roman Empire succumbed to the Teutons. Pacifism means yielding power to the inveterate nonpacifists. Among the latter there will always be white men — adventurers, conquerors, leader-types — whose following increases with every success. If a revolt against the whites were to occur today in Asia, countless whites would join the rebels simply because they are tired of peaceful living.
Pacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact. If the white races are resolved never to wage war again, the colored will act differently and be rulers of the world."
