"Thus my "position" mentioned upthread. But hell, if we were going to be governed by such nancy postures, we would never go to war, would we? Hmmmm?"
*** I *** HAVE NOT argued against war because people were getting killed. YOU HAVE: The point of war is that someone DOES feel that there is a moral reason to go kill people. ALL societies have made this determination- the only difference is the REASONS that they kill those that stand between them and their perceived goals ( World peace, end of global warming, absolute control of others, whatever)
