Theos-Talk Archives (September 2004 Message tt00781)

Such debates are quite political, and perhaps they do belong at another
forum.
Consider this sentence Eldon.

Anyways:
The Bhagavad Gita was as far as I know only concerned with the use of
war when it was a spiritual necessity - not when it was not necessary.

Do you really think, that it is necessary to use such a kind of force in
Darfur
despite the ongoing situation in the UN Security Counsil and its need for
reform?
