Good luck on keeping this vanity thread from degenerating into a forum for anger.
Very few men are wise enough to be able to govern their survival and territorial instincts in war. And war means winning is everything and every resource is needed and used.
Men especially use belittlement of the enemy as a tactic for keeping up their fighting edge adrenalin and throwing their enemies off-balance.
And I'm not sure it would be a good idea to breed for the kind of wisdom you are seeking, as such a race might well become extinct.

That's not wisdom, it's being willfully blind. The truth is right there, plain as day but she refuses to see it. It's so much easier to think happy thoughts than to face the cold hard facts.
Perhaps when maybe ore than a handful of Islamic leaders speak out AGAINST these attacks, and terrorism in general, I'll indeed rethink my position. The FACT however, is that they are NOT. They remain silent, and that silence speaks volumes.
