Not that this is anything wrong with Ramadan, more like my lifestyle in fact, but I'm jus' sayin'. More excuses.

First we must thank liberalism, and in so doing criticize communism. The old empires of pre-liberal colonialism hit their final end during World War I. World War I, foolishly named to imply a sequel, was a war that occurred mostly in Western Europe, so it wasn't really a World War either so there's that. Even worse "WWI," as it was called at the time, did not involve any fighting at all in the western hemisphere, aka, the bestern hemisphere.
The horrible destruction of human life, property and proper nomenclature in World War I made the Europeans very angry, and they honked at each other in mutually unintelligible languages until enough pantomime and map-pointing made them agree that Germany was at fault. Germany was sent to its room and then punched a hole in the wall, metaphorically. This wall-hole was Adolf Hitler.
Since the much-better sequel, which by the way was still NOT a World War, the world has been in a state of relative peace, as detailed by Steven Pinker in the book "The Better Angels of Our Nature." Since "WW2," interstate wars have dropped dramatically, and interstate wars amongst great powers have dropped to almost zero.Even better, after communism inevitably collapsed their ceased to be nearly as many wars, civil wars, revolutions, and too ended the threat of nuclear war.
Today we live in a state of international friendship. Countries solve their disputes through economics, diplomacy, or in the worst case with proxy wars involving the lives of relatively small numbers of foreign expendables. And the world we see is one of wonders.
Why is this international friendship so important? Well, the first reason is the most obvious: Saving the lives of so many. Most of us have never seen a war, or even known someone who has died in one - here, in the most militaristic country on earth! Even today, wars like Iraq killed, what, a million people? Snooze. That's what, one-seventhousandth of the human race? Prior wars killed upwards of five percent of humanity, yet today we declaim about this statistical irrelevance.
More importantly than human life is the benefit it has had to capitalism. As Thomas "Milton" Friedman correctly said, no two countries with a McDonalds have gone to war against one another, and here too we see the benefit of this friendship. Without war and with cooperation, economic growth is steady and new markets are being constantly opened. There are more wealthy people on the planet than ever.
So we see why international friendship is so important. First in saving lives, but also in making money. Without the nations of the world throwing their blood and treasure down the pit of violence, we are all freed to build the great zigguraut of capitalism. Rejoice!

Yeah Amir Kahn's pro boxing career has been kind of messed up by the fact that he observes ramadan so he basically loses a season each year, and fights have to be done either before or into mid winter to give him time to train

KAAHHHNNN!!!
Kahn is really awful to watch, he doesn't fight like other british fighters that have fought internationally in the last 10 years. He fights like a big stupid baby, like prince naseem hamed without the showmanship.
