I like the words in a Stephen Stills song.." I think enemies are fantasies... somebody elses living nightmare"...~ Isn't It About Time

How can we hate people we never met?..why do people do things wrong to people they've never met?..Usually the motivating factor is fear.. fear that is instilled by rulers...politicians etc..For example the Japanese civilians were very afraid of being captured by American forces because they were told in part that we would "kill and eat their babies"..
Interestingly , the Japanese did exactly that during the Nanking China invasion..although they deny such things happened.
