Off topic, but I picked this up off your personal page and liked it so much, I thought it worth posting here. I know I've seen it somewhere before, but it bears repeating.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill

It sooo describes most of today's Left, doesn't it??

Yes, it perfectly describes the left and those who think war is the WORST thing possible. Sometimes it's necessary. Always ugly, but necessary nontheless.
