There are two sides to this arguement (not counting the circle of spectators, passers-by, snack vendors, and miscelaneous non-involved homins who just happen to be present) , and the tragic fact is.. both sides are right. There will not be a revelation that the evil Karavan lied to their followers to force them into an unjust war.. or that the unhomin Kami manipulated their gullible worshippers into a fever of mindless bigotry, or rather, both will be accused of just that - by the opposing side.
BUT. we are going to end up with some escalated level of tension - possibly even going as far as open warfare - between the powers that influence our world, and Homins will end up on both sides, will they - nill they.
And Homins (generally) are not going to put up with being the bad guys. Which means - both sides have to be the good guys. Its funny, but life is like that.
all arguements are true.. for a given value of 'true'. Eventually, you just have to weigh up what you know, and make a decision for yourself.
