I'm sure there are plenty of good reasons for ignoring the build-up to war. But I also think it is important for people to be able to talk about the war. For those who don't want to talk about the war, the solution is quite simple. Don't open the thread.

I think outfidel's point is a crucial one, because it goes to the heart of the logic used by hawks and chickenhawks to justify the carnage. Killing people isn't liberating them. It calls into question the entire justification for the war.

Thanks for the link, and thanks for making the point, outfidel.

Peace.
