Personally, I'd rather not. Actually, I don't think I could. But I think it's going to be a long time before we get rid of war. War is stupid, and it usually comes as the result of a power-hungry few, but until we organize society differently, people will remain convinced that wars are necessary.

After I graduated with my physics undergraduate, the Navy sent me a letter inviting me to become a nuclear sub engineer. They said I didn't even have to shave my hair!

As an aside, I do believe that the more people communicate across boundaries like this, the harder it is going to be to kill us. Imagine if there were a bunch of afghanis here, sharing stories and videos. It's tougher for a government to create an enemy when you know something about them.
