Yea and when one single country has enough power to start a war even though the UN and it's Security Council is against it, then it scares me even more.

Now, I hate to stir things up as its been a while since this was posted but this seems to go against the whole notion of take your mind of what you don't want, and go for what you do want. The Secret teaches it, The Science of Getting Rich teaches it, and I think (though its been a while since I read it) Think and Grow Rich mentions something about think about what you want, not what you dont want. Isn't this "raising consciousness" about what we don't want giving it power? Isn't it just making it worse? Shouldn't we be more focused on training soldiers to be conscious or making the military a more thought free place? I'm not sure exactly where our attention should go on this, but it doesn't seem like focusing on what we don't want helps a whole lot. It tends to create more anger and negative emotions in people than any feelings of a "lets do something to fix this" attitude. Im just sayin'.
