Coups, wars, proxy wars, regional conflicts, massacres, genocides and assassinations. Welcome to man's nature - warring over territory, religion and politics or drugs, money and resources.
With the sophistication of military hardware and weaponry, with the military build-up in all regions of the world moving at unprecedented levels and with madmen running the world, we are well on the way to meeting our Lord and Savior, who, according to some, is coming soon. But will he get through the many military air defences if he's coming from a place called Heaven? Sadly, the peacemaker wouldn't experience the boulevards of Paris or the beaches of Florida or the ruins of Petra for he would be taken out by a ground-to-air missile while he was the size of a bat in the distance. Shoot first, ask questions later.
Hundreds of thousands are murdered every year by countries building weapons stockpiles and testing them out on human sacrifice instead of building homes and hospitals and schools and self-esteem.
Why is this absurd reality taking place? Because the number one industry in the world is arms manufacture and sales. So. Sad.
