What part of "NO" Doesn't make sense to you??

This is a question I've been wanting to ask the bigwigs of North Korea ever since they've started having trouble with South Korea again, or to be more precise ever since they've started this "hooliganism" of test firing their wares.

Hold this against me if you want to, but I do not like the idea of another war, doesn't matter if it is between North and South Korea, between terrorist and the tormented, between Naxalites and the government, for oil, for land, for ransom, for whatever man wants.

I am risking the criticism of those pro-defense people and of the paranoids, that we, in the name of X number of reasons, have created post 9/11's and 7/11's of the world. I don't even want to go to the world wars and the "mushrooms".

Believe me when I say I don't like the idea of running underground each time a siren shrieks, and I'm sure at least a handful of you out there would agree hands down to this proposition of mine. I only say "No war".

I don't want anyone out there to be a victim of a suicide bomb in Pakistan or Afghanistan. It is a nightmare to think of people practicing with some newly fashioned automated weapon, when they, at least in their subconscious know that the enemy is another human being.

I remember my mom telling me stories of the emergencies and wars she's seen during her college days in Ambala, Punjab, and about the black paper and blankets that were plastered to the windows, about the undercover candle lights and trenches into which they scurried each time a siren sounded and warplanes flew overhead dropping bomb shells on any signs of life that they sensed from their vantage points.

As if all the rest of the trouble in the world has already been sorted out, people have started bringing out spy satellites and flashing nuclear weaponry. Why, in God's name, don't they understand that all of us, irrespective of what part of the Earth we are on, will be on the receiving end.

And again, I read the story of another 3 year old kid in California shooting her one year old sibling to death with a .45 that the parents left under their bed. My first take on it was "Really? you leave a gun around the house within children's reach?"

Where will this end, when the last two survivors of the homo sapien species kill each other over some trifle which would anyways be off reach when the drama winds?
