Didn't catch O'Rielly last night, but this seems appropriate: "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. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better persons than himself." -- John Stuart Mills Hope that helps.

I guess that nails Colman McCarthy and the rest of the "peace at any cost" crowd.

This describes Bubba Blythe Klinton to a T.
