You know, at some point the pessimist/cynic in my wants to just say, "Who the hell knows why they want to fight over this crap-pile of that shit-hole. They're all f**ked-up in the head, anyway!"

We try to fight for what is right, and the sons/daughters of those killed hate us. There really is no way to win.
