    The notion that all there is and all there can be is what we know, is an intellgent one? REALLY?
    How so when intellectual pursuits constantly prove what we knew before wrong and even make it appear foolish in some instances? Seems illogical at best. The greatest minds of the past several generations have noted that there are things we will never understand about our existence, yet the not so educated psuedo intellectuals out there continue to argue against this premise with nothing substantial to back their position up.

    What this has to do with "Military", or "Ethnic-Religious Conflicts", I have absolutely no idea.

    Intellectualism is 'proving itself wrong' by trying to solve ethnic/religious conflicts? Is the cause of those conflicts?
    If so, some examples would be helpful.
