My mindset about aerial bombardment of Iran's nuclear sites would depend on detailed inside knowledge, which clearly I don't have. But would I prefer the destruction of those sites one way or another to Israel's destruction, yes.

I have no prejudices against Palestinian children. They're captive pawns, rigidly programmed in school, molded by regimes who don't care two cents about them except as possible suicide fodder. I merely pointed out that normal, happy children wouldn't answer 'world peace' when asked what they want most. Children are what they are the world over. Ask a child you know, or any child you meet casually what he/she wants most. You won't get that 'world peace' answer. They don't think about large issues. They think about lunch or dessert or a new toy.

"But would I prefer the destruction of those sites one way or another to Israel's destruction, yes."

Your thinking is one-tracked.

How about..."I would prefer that Iran and Israel come to some sort of peaceful resolution of their differences."

Also, I can prove scientifically, empirically, legally, and any other way that is necessary, that violence is not innate from birth. Because I know this to be the case I also know that problems can be resolved without violence. I do also know however that if two people are trying to make peace and another wants to destroy that trust-building, the third person must be stopped. Peace building is multi-faceted. The key is to use as little violent force as possible. i.e.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
