A Voyage in the East

Today I got to see the true horror of war, I went to the Cu Chi tunnels. The Cu Chi tunnels were dug by the Viet Cong to avoid the constant barrage of B-52 bombers coming over the area. The museum also displayed a lot of the brutal boobytraps that the Viet Cong used. War is an absolutely horrendous business. We've got to find a way to eliminate it being used as a political tool. Perhaps the way is to make politics less important a concern in human affairs (how to accomplish this I do not know.) My only other thought is that Gandhi was way ahead of his time. Then again, the causes of war are probably more complex than humans being overly politicized (which I am convinced that we are) and perhaps Gandhi was too nieve.

More later on the rest of the trip that I took today as I was also introduced to a new religion. But I am too tired now to write more.
