Thread Name: for all who wish for war
Subject: RE: for all who wish for war
Anyone who "wishes for war" is an ass. War is about the stupidest confession ofhuman aberration ever seen, and its historical popularity is a grim testament to human insanity.

On the other hand, failing to face up to evil is equally insane. Larry is clearly doing his part to confront some parts of the evil in the world. Seems to me there is no question the Knights of the Quesadilla are pretty much engaged in evil, regardless of their rationalized justifications. And given that they have carried that evil into the midst of our cities, I don't see where our alternative lies other than to use as much force as needed to unman this psychosis. This is true whether or not we have committed harm in earlier incidents.

While there may be a lot of corners in the organization behind our composite civilization, where greed and profit motives overweigh more rational goals, I would also have to add that the 5 to 6 thousand people who got wiped from life last month were mostly just trying to do what good they could, build some sort of future, and get along and get ahead -- in short, to pursue happiness. Their right to do so got violently curtailed by an act of war. That cannot be gainsaid regardless of the complexity of antecedent offenses.

Larry, what do you suggest the Administration should be doing about that?
