Despite what I say the world and it's inhabitants don't work like that, it never will. When has anyone every learned from history? and the mistakes that were made that will be made now, tomorrow, next week and in the future and as long as humans walk the earth. Suffice to say, the idea of a perfect world where society lives in bliss, without war, where soldiers abuse human rights whether it's to "potential terrorists" rapists, and so forth. It will never happen, I can almost guarantee that, it's wishful thinking even from the optimists in this world. Which isn't a bad thing, just more of wasted hope.

Sad but true.
