We are apparently talking about two different things, and that should be addressed.

You are talking about a 'war,' and I am talking about 'warriors.'

Those Japanese Kamikazes were warriors.

The terrorists are simply thugs fighting a war, and that is characterized by the murder of civilians.

Now you are certainly 100% correct that we are fighting a war for our lives, our families, and the values of Western Civilization, but to equate some ignorant raghead terrorist who delights in the murder of women and children with those Japanese members of their military is just plain wrong.

And if you should look back through my posts, you will see that I am certainly no admirer of the Japanese, or their conduct, in WW11 - Quite the contrary.

[Huck]

that is characterized by the murder of civilians.

Well not for nothing, but we murdered quite a few civilians at Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and I don't consider our side thugs. And I don't believe in "honorable" war. The British honorably (stupidly) marched right into the Continentals who dishonorably (wisely) hid behind trees to ambush them. The object of war is to win, and the only honor in war is victory. Or so it seems to me. So the Japs flew planes into ships. The ragheads fly planes into buildings. What the hell is the difference? In either case, they are trying to achieve an objective and we want to stop them.
