Former US president Jimmy Carter recently made a statement to the effect that "war is never justified."

When did that jackass say this??

[grobdriver]

Thirty years later, I´ve come to realize that while peace is indeed a noble cause and totally worth pursuing, there is sometimes a justification and a necessity for war. No normal person would go out of his or her way looking for this sort of thing. But, unfortunately, it sometimes is laid on our doorstep, like 9/11. Then, turning to pacifism or "peace now" for assistance is like the bird sticking its head in the ground when it sees a wolf running its way.

I think this guy just got his fill of "free love", can't perform anymore, so has no reason to be an idiot any longer.

The dirty little secret here is that militant Islam and the left wing peace protesters want essentially the same thing. An end to America as it exists today. They both believe that the world would be a better place if THEY ran America. I am not suggesting that left wing peace protesters want an Islamic America, no , they want a leftist America and using Islamic hatred of America to there ends is their goal. In short both Islam and left wing peace protesters want a regime change, an American regime change.
