Whether or not it was copied and pasted is beside the point. I think it is quite valid, and belongs on this thread.

I am very much anti-war - I've marched in peace marches and sung anti-war songs in my choir, but at the same time, I recognize that it is the politicians who send our soldiers off to fight - they are doing an unpleasant and dangerous job because they have to, and most have the best of intentions. Admittedly there are a few who enjoy the idea of warmongering, but they are in the minority.

I think they deserve our support and good thoughts simply because they are other human beings in need of it.
