Good and Evil are each sides of the same coin. Good will never win and overcome Evil and Evil will never win and overcome Good.

For every evil dictator in history there has been a god-loving humanitarian leader such as Ghandi, Our Founding Fathers, Socrates, Buddha, etc. They did not live long and passed into history. The same could be said of the evil ones such as Hitler, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and now Bush, Nostradamus's "MABUS".

This evil will fail like it has always failed throughout history...the only problem is that this same history will repeat for a new generation. The question is if we can learn from our past enough that we don't have to keep suffering the same deaths, hardships, anarchy, stupidity, etc. that we may rise above the human condition and realize really who and what we are and why we were put here on this little speck of dust at the edge of a galaxy.

I'm not saying that the struggle against this evil should cease, but I am saying if we could get to the root and understand why evil is necessary to the human condition then maybe through some miracle of human intelligence, the constant cycle of war, hate, and suffering can come to a conclusion.

But alas, maybe it's like my philosphy professor once said, 'this is just grade school and once you get the lessons here, you can move on'.

Maybe that's why other more advanced galactic civilizations won't visit us, because we're just a kindergarten.

Warfare, acceptable collateral damage, corporate greed, destruction of the environment, media manipulation, etc, etc, are all examples of how us kindergartners like to cheat at the game of life.

Hey and you thought you were so innocent? Have you ever stole a stamp from work, cheated on your spouse, gone over the speed limit, snuck in a move theatre, cheated at Monopoly?

Maybe it's just the nature of human nature to degrees depending on how much power we are given to wield. Those that fail at their kindergarten lesson like Bush are condemned to repeat the lesson until they learn that being bad is not good. Maybe that is about as simple as it gets.

Maybe we are a part of a honorable sacrifice so that people like Bush may get the lesson because after all, many philosophers have said that we are all one. Hmmmm.
