You write "in other words, selfishness v's selflessness--- an old age question !" It's been said that a well- asked question is half-answered . The answer to this question is fudamental in resolving not only iternational disputes ,but personal as well.

The dominant ethics practiced today is Altruism(placing others before oneself) and this principle of conduct , left in its wake mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.It's time to chalenge this ancient morality and replace it with the morality of rational egoism.
