QuestionThe trend in war in the last 100 years has seen a dramatic increase in civilian death... why is this tolerated? AngelaAnswer
Angaangaq Lyberth: You know, Angela, I ask the same question many times. I don’t know if you knew that but I come from the land on top of the world in the land of the Eskimos when war has never been fought for any reason. So it’s really quite interesting to travel the world where war is happening. I was just across from Sri Lanka in December in the mainland of India where your people are taking sides and killing each other for land, a very small territory on Earth. When my people who lives the largest land on Earth, the land of the Eskimos, they have never fought war. And then on top of that in the last 100 years as you so rightfully stated more people have been killed in the war and then it seems like nobody is doing anything to stop these wars. You’re right, you’re right, many are doing effort to stop the war. But still many are creating wars. It does not matter how they call it, how they justify it, what they do with it, it’s still a war. And it still kills people. It is as though human life means nothing. Angela, for a piece of land? There is only one Earth and mankind is a citizen as it is stated by [Ba-how-la]. And how can you and I fight for that? It belongs to all of us. It belongs to you as it belongs to others in your land. Enjoy the beauty of your land and live that beauty within you. And prosper in your land. That is the way for you and for everyone else on Earth. War is senseless and should be eliminated. Not by the United Nations, not by your government but by you. I will help you. Thank you.
