I had a random thought ….

Today I was thinking about wars throughout the history … wars to conquer other countries … wars that have happened because of differences and because of greed … wars that were not in any measures worth the outcome, except if the outcome was freedom ….

Borders of any kind (cultural, religious, lands,…) are created by human and belong to Earth …. There are no borders for flying free birds ….. That’s why they get meaningless in the sky …

I think about this often and then take it back to the beginning; let's take a look at The Gulf War because it is quite straight forward.
Kuwait tapped an oil well which extended under Iraq, whether from the beginning (dependent on the oil deposit shape or at some point) they were removing oil which belonged to Iraq. I don't know the actual sequence of events that lead to the invasion of Kuwait but let's imagine that Iraq had taken all reasonable steps to prevent Kuwait's theft, what would you suggest should happen before invasion of Kuwait. Sometimes as horrible a thought as it is war is the option.

Should I say :

I rest my case ??

Or should I say :

You seem to be missing my point …

@Soossie I've missed the point it appears. I don't think any country would stand having something taken from them, the UK went to war in 1982 because of this. I think you're saying that if there were no borders there would be no war, what then would happen if a neighbour decided to start taking your yard to enhance what they had? What you are hoping for cannot happen unless we return to being nomadic and even then there would be disputes over territory.
@GeniUs

No .. I’m saying that we have one Earth and we are all human … war is unnecessary and that I wish no one was greedy to start a war for wider borders and more land …
