Your coworkers like many of us are plain optimistic. They really believe that Obama can change things for the better. It has been the US & the Worlds misfortune that everyone had to suffer 8 years of Bush's inefficient leadership.
I don't think Obama is using war to change things. One might still call it War on Terror, but it is concrete Action and Action is always better than inaction. Only the action has to be based on Intelligent inputs so that innocent people are not affected.
What alternatives do you suggest for what you call as War? Do you expect the new administration to have a round-table conference with Al-Qaida leaders? Or do you feel that even if the US & the world reaches out positively & applies the the balm of love and trust on all Muslims, even then Al-Qaida would stop its hatred towards non-Muslims? Just give a thought to it. I would love to hear from you on this point.
We are dealing with insane people here & no right thinking country/people would love to avoid acting(with force) on this threat. It is our collective Dharma to destroy those who want to establish Adharma on this world.
I really loved your analogy on reflection on oneself vis-a-vis this situation.
It seems your blog isn't working. Would love to read more about you and your thoughts.
