  War

  I was just reading about the war in the DRC, which is really about mineral resources. I mean, it's said to be funded by the sale of coltan (which makes it possible for you and I to have a cell phone), and the disputes are about land rights. Seems a bit unethical of us cell phone users. It's really hard to escape buying products that have some past, some unethical something about it.

  Soon, I hope to embark on the reading of a book called The Age of the Warrior: Selected Essays by Robert Fisk. Maybe he addresses my current pondering: I wonder how many wars waging right now are essentially wrought because of money? I guess most everything boils down to whether a group decides they have rights to something or other (resources, land, etc) and that's why people start wars. What do you think?
