		<description>Quantum Electro Dynamics, yes Bowser that leads directly to the Old Testament, if the following translation is used as a guide.

Genesis = Beginning of the Universe
Space = “heaven”
Mass = “earth” ‘eretz” (From an unused root probably meaning to be firm) Reference from:  http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H776&amp;t=HNV
Energy = “light”
Constant = “firmament” or “expanse” 

I suspect that by placing the QED at the end of the sentence you probably meant “quod erat demonstrandum,” which translates as &quot;which was to be demonstrated&quot;.
It is very easy to misunderstand what has been written, and this is especially true if the reader does not have an in depth understanding of the written material or the writers concept of the subject matter.
Hmm….. am I being “evangelical?”</description>

		<description>Plus, y&#039;know, Pearl Harbor was a major strategic naval base in the Pacific.  They probably thought that by taking it out they could weaken US naval forces a bit.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah, I made a pretty broad statement myself.&lt;/p&gt;

Let&#039;s see if you have the horsepower to actually refute it with some facts.  The history and the numbers are out there.

Hint:  Going into your standard Bush paternoster is not a counterargument.

You&#039;ve not only made a dash for your comfort zone, you&#039;ve slammed the door behind you.</description>

		<description>&quot;Patently false&quot;, eh.  &quot;Patently&quot;!  &quot;Any method of counting&quot;.  &quot;Any&quot;.

Well, last I looked there was no demonstration I was false, patently or otherwise, or that even one method of counting shows me wrong.  Simply an accusation that I was being stereotypically anti-Western and anti-conservative.

Remember, that it&#039;s N2 (nitrogen) we are supposed to be breathing and not N2O (nitrous oxide).

A question.  Do you believe George W. Bush when he says that WTC was because &quot;they&quot; hate the American way of life, freedom and democracy.  Is that why we passed up Saudi Arabia and invaded Iraq.

Do you believe GWB when he said we are fighting to bring democracy and freedom to the country and region?

Those are simple questions.  You supported the guy, you supported the wars, you excused every form of abuse the US could heap upon the Iraqis.  Do you also believe those wars would have been fought without oil as the reason?  And the supporting excuse that an American fundamental Christian President who talks with God didn&#039;t regard the infidels as quite human?</description>

		<description>Cause of war: 

I suspect that there are many reasons that people will start a fight with each other.
Some reasons may be misunderstandings, disagreements, fear, greed, hate, irrational mental behaviour, etc..

On the internet I found these sites that touch on the subject.

Religion against the same religion.

		<description>Thingamabobs

I think that if there are “thingamabob” (Higgs bosons) they still must be composed of “something” and I suppose that if we make a bigger hammer (particle accelerator) and smash those bozos… ahh-- bosons to pieces, we could give names to those pieces and say that they are what make up everything.
All photons and particles have this “wave/particle duality” photons behave like particles and particles exhibit wave qualities, to me, that indicates one thing about the structure of mass and photons, they all vibrate or pulsate at some frequency, since everything pulsates or vibrates at some frequency then it could be that everything is made up of the same basic constituent.  That constituent then is able to form into photon type waves and also can condense into higher density particle waves. So in my opinion, what ever it is that creates the wave structure in all particles and photons is the ultimate ingredient in everything.  If all the wave motions within the ultimate ingredient (u i) would come to a halt, the (u i) would still exist and would be distributed throughout the universe in a uniform manner.  This (u i) then could be compared to a fluid that fills the available space when not disturbed, the photons and particles and all other effects that we observe are simply a form of disturbance of this (ui).</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You made a broad statement that was patently false, by any method of counting.&lt;/p&gt;  You picked religion and oil because you can apply those to a political stereotype that keeps you in your anti-Western, anti-conservative comfort zone.

Wars and domestic atrocities in the name of raw power and secular ideology starts to take you out of that comfort zone, despite the fact that far more graves have been dug for victims of those things than the others.

Hell, oil wasn&#039;t even a factor in human society until the end of the 19th century, and the only place religion is in the picture nowadays as a military factor is Islamic jihad.  Which doesn&#039;t exactly fit in your anti-Western comfort zone either.</description>

		<description>One data point serves very well as an example of my point, which is all I was trying to do.  I&#039;ll agree that it would be a poor Master&#039;s thesis.

Yes, in my mind when I posted that I was equating &quot;carnage&quot; with &quot;war&quot;.  I can see I wasn&#039;t being precise.  There have been carnages other than war, such as the Crusades or some of the recent African slaughters, and carnages within war, such as the Holocaust.

None of which, in my mind, contradicts point.

		<description>Well done.  Exactly.  I would only add that Japan regarded the Asian colonies of the Nazi occupied countries in Europe as up for grabs.  

And the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere was regarded as an improvement by some of the colonies.

&quot;This is why nations start foreign wars.  The excuse is always Freedom and God, but the reason is always money.&quot;  4.0</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;One data point hardly makes your argument for you, particularly if you&#039;re tallying &quot;carnage.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

Maybe we&#039;re working from different definitions.  Mine covers a lot more territory than wars.  The numbers are impressive.</description>
