I for one have no problem with religious people killing off other religious people. However after 9/11 that entire funny situation expanded to the west and now the normal people are being killed too, so now it has become my problem as well.
I'm sure we'd find something to fight over, WWI and II hardly had any religious background (at least I don't think Hitler wanted the Jews dead because of something God said, unless I missed that in history class). The war in the middle east has no religious purpose whatsoever and WWIII (It'll happen, just wait) is more likely to be about resources (water/oil).
Humans have a killing instinct, it's just what we do. However it would make me feel a whole lot better if a war is fought over something real. Be it land, resources or money. If I have to serve in the next World War because Germany decided to fuck the world over the third and final time, and I get shot in my ass, at least I won't have to lay on my stomach for the next 3 months because some towlhead didn't agree with what someone said about his night night story. At least I'd get to lay in that hospital, having been shot by someone who actually tried to accomplish something real (and Germans have proven time and time again they can accomplish those goals quite effectively, which is a lot better then shooting my ass for 70 virgins).
So yeah, maybe we would find something else to fight about. But at least that fight would mean something. What goes on in places like the Gaza Strip and whatnot doesn't mean jack shit. It's a waste of perfectly good bullets and medical equipment.

So many things wrong with this, least of all the racist insult.
Havoc, do you honestly think that wars are fought for religion? Wars are fought for money and power and religion oft gets the blame as it is the easiest way of justifying these intentions to the great unwashed.
Also, the Middle East conflict has always been the West's problem, ever since we planted the seeds of HMS FUBAR there back in the fourties, the fifties, the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties. You can call 9/11 some well overdue backlash, horrible, disgusting and dreadful yes, but not at all unexpected given Newton's Laws.
