Why is war more important than improving the human living condition? How anti-productive and pointless is destroying one another. When something or someone is destroyed there is a price to pay. If you destroy someone, their family lives with the grief of loosing someone they love. If you take trees away from the environment, it makes the earth hotter and more prone to bigger storms. The trees has always acted as kind of a barrier from damaging winds. There is so much good that can be done with alternative energy sources like solar, wind, water. Electricity can be produced and can be harnessed to run appliances that would cost less than, if it came from the power companies. The technology is there to change salt water into fresh water. If we could come up with a generator that could harness electricity from solar and have a device for converting salt water to fresh water, this could benefit Africa's drought. People could have fresh drinking water, the animals could have fresh drinking water and irrigation could be done so plants and crops of plants can be grown. This is just an idea that I had a number of years ago when I visited the Florida Solar Energy Center. It is the greed of money and power that prevents good deeds like this from happening.
