Of course you'll do [it], what else you (& I) gonna do?
"...guess I just got caught up in that thread where I was gittin' called a pacifist fer not wanting to wantonly kill innocent women and children...LOL!!"
Conflicting messages, the smarmy "kill innocent yadayadayada" & a "LOL," y'know?
And a fair argument could be made you are in fact, a "pacifist."
Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with pacifists mind you, we are what we are, after all.
War is *hell*.
War's dirty, ugly, there's much pain from war & not all of that pain gets administered to those who deserve it, either.
War if executed properly is barbaric bringing about peace, quickly.
Anyone whose been through war never wants to see it again, & that's the key.
Those who haven't been subjected to war seem intoxicated by the prospect of war.
The filthy bastards -- and the "innocents" who've aided & abedded the filthy bastards -- who murdered those civilians are just such people who're the product of just such peoples.
In the end when all's been said & done, it's either war or *no* war & ya can't have it both ways, Mud.
You seem to desire *sterilizing* war, somehow.
I don't get that POV, & I never will.
...nor do I think I'd want to.
Yeah, I reckon that "LOL" shouldda been a "SHEEESH!!"
"...it's either war or *no* war & ya can't have it both ways, Mud. You seem to desire *sterilizing* war, somehow."
Are you being intentionally obtuse, my FRiend?! I believe in Unleashing HELL upon our enemies when the decision is made to take up arms and fight. However, going after innocent women and children is terrorism, not War!! What is most despicable about these Muslim extremists is their gutlessness in using their own women and children to massacre our women and children...that's pure EVIL!! We should not be so quick to return the favor, imho. We can win this War on Terrorism despite maintaining the High Moral Ground...nay, I would say a big part of our winning is BECUZ we are maintaining the High Moral Ground!!
Surely you understand that POV, right?
FReegards...MUD
BTW...that POV does NOT make me a "pacifist"!!
Lotta hate building up in dem dere werds, mi amigo...a loathing that is quite understandable considering recent events. Still, you recognize that these filthy bastards are people, and they will eventually bow to the recognition that peaceful democratic representation and individual liberty is inherently preferable to their totalitarian impulses...it's simply human nature, folks yearn to be FRee!!
