Eric - Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you are immature or that you hold immature opinions. I was just using your words as a platform, so to speak, to make a particular point of my own...off on a different tangent.

People are always quoting other people's words out of context on this forum...it's an occupational hazard here, but I can understand that you don't like it, so I will try not to do that again (to you, I mean...I don't guarantee NEVER to do it again to anybody...I doubt I have quite that much self-control :-))

I don't personally feel that I am "at war" in this situation, although my country is involved in it. I can imagine situations where I would feel I was "at war", but this isn't one of them. This, to me, is just a huge multinational tragedy that began on Sept 11 (or you could say it began a long time before that, depending on your viewpoint). I have no wish to add to the existing body count.

If you feel that attacking Afghanistan genuinely will help end terrorism, then I can understand why you support it.
