That's funny, I never thought of myself as a warmonger.

In the words of William Sherman, "War is hell, boys." Sure it's ugly. Sure it's senseless. People die. Innocent people die. But that's WAR. Perhaps I oversimplify.

I don't claim to have any answers. All I know is if you want the dog to stop barking you have to cut its head off, not its tail, and because we didn't do that, we're still playing cat-and-mouse. And because we're still playing cat-and-mouse, that leaves the door open for another possible conflict, where more money and lives are wasted.

Since I obviously don't know what I'm talking about I'm going to exit this thread now and leave the discussion to those more knowledgeable in military affairs. :)
