Thank you, @cathynsons!  On bad days I have that fear but I see glimmers of great hope that, finally, the good of humanity (which is a majority, I think) will rise up and say, "No more carnage."  The more I learn about geopolitics the more I see conflicts are always about the money.  A necessary first step for the elite is public deception, to get them  whipped up in support of their false causes.  The elite are, most often, sheltered from the negative effects of their actions, the common people are the ones who suffer. The elite profit tremendously from conflict. People are waking up to this, I believe. Maybe the sh!tstorm of corruption during this last Presidential election here in the U.S. was a wake up call? I hope so anyway. I see this as a great opportunity for people to get involved.
