...because ancient mythical superheroes have yet to appear and duke it out in space so as to solve all our problems.
Sorry, atheist commentary.

No, seriously... belief vs. reality. I might believe that I'm on a magical crusade to rid the world of dangerous Muslims, but my CO will direct me otherwise. And regardless of what some indig dude in a dirt hut believes... America is not trying to kill off his people. Are you "Goin' Rogue" on me, Will?
Call me naive, but I believe that we have enough sane and educated people in power that we're not declaring war for insane reasons anymore... today it's just based on bad intel or to distract a nation from domestic issues. Nobody really believes the Axis of Evil is actually in cahoots with Teh Debbil.
Just because you believe a thing is one way... doesn't make it such. This is especially true when others disagree. And when people have forgotten.

This reminds me of that dumbass thread I did a while back where I started out with the premise that violence is the root of all power. That was fun.

Replace "believed in God" with "received college money" and you'll have yourself a helluva debate.
