Zing and Zang perched on the fire escape, watching and listening to the people far below.
“We haven’t been to China yet,” observed Zing. “People here seem very concerned about China. Zang, you have deeply studied Zerkon. Has our own planet ever been at war with our own people?”
“No, Zing. Nor with any other planets, as far as I know. War is costly and counter-productive.”
“Then what is the point?” queried Zing.
“Power. Fear. Money.”
“Seems to me they have more to fear from each other than they do from us “aliens!”
Just Writing! 
So true. 🙂
Blessings, dear Linda.
