I touched on the India-Pakistan problem in Kurma's speech. As far as the Israeli situation goes, it is difficult to criticize the nation of Israel in any way without courting the label "antisemite". If you re-read Mithras' admonishment of the Elohim, there is a great deal of subtext there. That is the only address I felt necessary without sidelining the bigger picture. I centered my criticism on the "Christianity" found especially the United States because they are not only the most militant that I see, but also set the greatest example that others follow. I didn't want to get mired down in every example and derail what I was trying to get across.
Yes, I have heard about anti-matter experimentation (which was why I included that); no, I have not heard about a bomb. I never expected to read about a bomb, but I think it naturally follows. Follow my chain of reasoning:
1.) No real scientist since the 19th century has pursued research for the sake of adding to the stores of human knowledge. They can't. They have to follow the funding. Also, any facility with the equipment to contain and research anti-matter necessarily has to be very, very well-funded.
2.) The only agencies who have the funds to equip a facility for this type of research have only one of two possible motives: a commercial or military application of a product.
3.) It is extremely unlikely that something as inherently unstable and dangerous as antimatter would ever have a commercial application (Alternative fuel? A car that runs on anti-matter? And you thought the Ford Pinto exploded!)
4.) Therefore, I can deduce that this research is being applied to a military weapon. Q.E.D.
