7. Notes 

7.1 Diary
This section is only up for posting my thoughts, you may agree or differ, and i do need to express them somewhere.
I had (at its moment) been very involved on the Iraqi conflict, informing myself on every source i could, i have to admit i had been "briefed" on the Gulf War, so i kind of know, and knew, what was the resistance Iraq could create, and what were the points (I actually was only wrong in saying Kut was gonna be tough).
Im no fan of violence, im no fan of war. (If you ask why i mod a war game, ill tell you cause war is only good in videogames). At first thought, many of readers would call me hippie.  I dont manifest myself on the streets, since i know its useless, so im not a hippie. 
Leaving outside politics, and theories, of which im tired to discuss (but open to), im very worried about our future. You may think im worried about "Nuke the world!". But no, im afraid of what we will turn in at this rythm.
Tieing several ties, ive come to the conclusion, that many persons in this world are not what they are shown as (as obvious...), or are not in the side they are shown us. Call me weirdo, but i do think, there is one small chance, that many leaders treated as terrorists, or dictators, are beyond that mask, under the same interests than our "peacemakers" for calling them somehow.
Before going on, i do believe in conspiracies if you were wondering, but not only because of acts, but also because of history, in every empire, there has always been one. One that could even cause the ruin of that empire...
If my thoughts are correct, and i do hope they are not, we are under an identical copy of a WWF show going on in the world, you know who fights, you know who will win, and you know who pays both of the opponents. Well...you know...relative thing.
Seeing the disgrace of the Iraqi people, ive come to the point of realising how useless was every anti-war effort. Having 1 million people in London, 1 million people in Madrid, and such, is useless. Our opinion doesnt count at all, our democraticly chosen leaders play their own interests. We have, in conclusion, chosen the wrong people to lead us.
Im certainly proud, nontheless, of 3rd world countries, which were menaced by the other part, of having recess of loans and similar, and they still mantained their position against war (namely Mexico, Chile, Angola, Cameroon and Senegal), plus every other country that having a bad situation, and the possibility of getting real help by supporting the war, stood strong in their anti-violence position.
Saddam Hussein has comitted massacres, he opressed everybody outside his suni ethnicity, and possessed in a past, Massive Destruction Weapons. In that past, there was a reason to remove him by force, he was a threat.
Nowadays, those arsenals have dissipated, those weapons that are being searched are extremely probably long gone. Sold. Sold to Pakistan, sold to Libya, to Iran, Chechenya. Even probably sold to paramilitar groups in the most strange places (why not USA itself). So goal of capturing weapons is invalid.
Removing Saddam Hussein could only be probably made by the force its true (and viewing from my ideas, its obvious, its a perfect hiding). However, its horrible what has happened in Iraqi soil. You can hear many times "its war, there are accidents". Correct reply. However, the 1500 or more accidents that caused death, plus the 6000 accidents that caused injuries, seem to pass unknown. Its pure logic, that you will feel sorry for them. Kids without arms and legs, not only they have to suffer from starvation, but now they have no future at all. Innocent men, innocent women, INNOCENTS. We all must be sorry about them. In part its all our fault for choosing what we chose to lead us. Nontheless, from this incident, we must learn. We must learn to live. We must learn to choose, we must learn to share, and most important, we must learn to be human. Simply putting this example: Celebrating a victory in a war where you killed innocents, is like having a birthday party for a woman, after you cheated on her the night before. You are happy, and make the other one feel happy, however your guilt and responsibilty for facts are passed by, and your ethical values, talking in facts, turn nonexistant. The only difference, is that by cheating, you mess with one person, in a war, you mess with thousands, or even million. Now plan this in your mind: How would you feel if you cheated on one person one day, and your conscience hurts. Now plan how would you feel if directly or indirectly, you are part of the death of 1500 innocents, in three weeks.
The day of the removal of Saddam Hussein, was "for sure", something to celebrate. But in my opinion, it should have balanced with its counter-face. If i was american, i wouldnt have gone to the street and show my flag. I would be praising killers (intentional or not). If i was Iraqi, i wouldnt go celebrate Husseins fall and thank Angloamericans. I would be praising the killers of my brothers.(intentional or not).
I think the world has had its chance to choose how to behave, and that its pretty clear how most of it behaved the correct way. Patriotism when blind, drives to Fanatism, Fanatism drives to Madness. And theres always somebody in benefit of a group of mad people. Its just up to each of us to think who is that.
Call me hippie again, violence is not the way. We were not born to kill, we were born to learn. Probably these horrible times will make us learn what our task is. Some have learnt a part. Some know what shouldnt be done. Now what we need to know, is what we should do, and what awaits us from that action.

No to violence. No to war. Peace, can only be gotten by our own moral, by love, honesty, solidarity, and mostly, humanity. Lets try learn what humanity is, and most important, lets be human.

- [CF|HC]ArgCmdr / Kadesh Keeps the faith for a world in peace.

Note: This is not demagougery. This is not pointing to any political alineations, and just attempting to express what the thought of a 3rd world (if you want to call it so) person is. You may agree, disagree, like or dislike, but judging according to a pacifist thought is breaching the principle of liberty of thought. If you think war is the solution, you may go ahead and have war. Your thought determines your fate, and theres nothing anybody can do to change your thought, its only yours. And probably, it will conduce you to what you need to learn in life.

On the meantime, as these subjects are very interesting, i invite you to visit CNC Guilds House of Parliament and The Truth Database, where you can discuss about politics, world events, religion, and paranormal events.

7.2 Comunicate - Language developed by ArgCmdr
Ether Bal Rasha pral okumbasul sel lepricon dun lu presionner.

Dont ask what that means, my language is supposed to be secret and undecifrable, even harder than navaho. Ill just say that its composed of acronyms of words from over 15 different languages (going through romantic (italian, romanian, french, spanish, portuguese), germanic (german, dutch...), cirilic (russian, ukranian -i had to find substitutes as i cannot show the characters...), prerromanic (basque, gaelic), precolumbian (quechua) and more)
