From War to Insanity From: "Tim" <wish.iwere@home.com> Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 05:40:07 +0000 War was fine. Brutal, violent, unnecessary, debilitating and cruel, yes- but within reason, fine. But this isn't war anymore. It's insanity. Pure and utter insanity. The fighting ceased to be a war 10 years ago, when the United World Council (UWC) and Earth Protectorate (EP) decided that taking their struggle into major urbanized centers was an acceptable option. That civilian POW/hostages were an acceptable option. That salting residential blocks with landmines was an acceptable option. And that blanketing an entire region of the country with lethal bio-chemical agents was an acceptable option. There is no such thing as acceptable risk to civilian life. There is no such thing as an official theatre of war in an urban center. The actions of the EP and UWC have been conducted in this manner for long enough. We refuse to allow any more 'acceptable risks' on the part of this conflict. It's time for the Global Protection Division to rise out of the gray, and act against these atrocities. God save humanity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Interested in a game involving martial-arts melee confrontations, a SEEWW-EEET homebrewed dice and stats system and a central plot that'll keep you guessing all the while?
