Many of the old theatres of war are still littered with mines and contaminated with atrocious long-lasting poisons as in Vietnam. Without a sustainable environment we have no future - but how many really care? We fritter our chances as we get engrossed in the minor distractions in life. Our inclination is to "turn inward" and foster self interest more as we are "picked off" one by one in the face of environmental and social decline. Like the water rushing down the plughole this situation will create a vortex we have no hope of surviving. We have to act now!

The Israeli bombing campaign destroyed a great deal of infrastructure for managing water resources in Lebanon. I think all the people living there know that as well, though people in the states are generally ignorant about the conflict. Differing with your closing, I believe that the environmental impacts of the war are already of great consequence, and that the planet is not going to wait for humans to lay down their arms before greater consequences are felt. Nevertheless, it is great for RAN to be getting after the essence of how the war is affecting environmental protections. Much of this war is about water.
