Thanks OlHump,
The "weather" is lookin' a little stormy these days, eh? LOL.
Your words are true when you say it's not the religion but the people who make the wars, and good words to remember. :o) :o(((

Maybe this isn't a part of your tribe's tradition, but don't some tribes make a clear distinction between the "peace chiefs" and the "war chiefs" .... I was thinking maybe that indicates keeping spirituality separate from war, and not using others' different paths as a rationalization for going to war with them .... but maybe I'm wrong about this?

peace,
sunny
