This seems not quite correct: >>> On the contrary, they seem to be a century behind. Even China told them they should try to find a diplomatic solution. India told them this is not the time for war. The world has other problems than an old man's ambitions. >> Apparently not.... This seems to me like disagreement with the parent assertion that "The world has other problems than an old man's ambitions", and then add to that that you continue on at length about the many problems "caused" by old men (which I do not disagree with at least in an absolute sense by the way). > ...it’s just that some ambitious old men can indeed cause huge destruction Things like this can be perfectly true, while simultaneously being misinformative, in that it can cause the mind that ingests the idea to assign inaccurate causal weight to the individual phenomenon/variable, form confident non-comprehensive conceptualizations of the system, etc.
