Dearly as I love catspaw, I think this is a dumb way of asking questions, which I notice is spreading. The question is "ought" they go to war, not will they. Voting on "will" they is simply expressing your opinion on how you think the future will unfold. It is like voting on whether Shania Twain's current album will sell 10 million copies. It may, whether you like it or not. It is disempowering, as if you are predicting whether or not you will be crushed by a big machine.
