Me: It takes no valor for politicians to volunteer others to attack a nation that poses little or no threat to them or their constituents

You: Well, they actually volunteered themselves.

You are kidding or crazy, which politician will lead the charge?

You: And when did you start thinking leaders would attack someone that posed no threat. That does not follow. Your argument is not cogent.

Did we attack Yugoslavia? Did we attack Grenada? Did Hitler attack Poland?

[Principled]

Volunteer armies actually volunteer. That's why they're called "Volunteer" armies.

And your argument is not cogent. It does not follow that one would initiate force without reason. You have thus far failed to demonstrate that reason.

Did Hitler attack Poland?

Yes. In 1939.

Did the Allies attack Hitler in 1935 when Hitler renounced and violated the Versailles Treaty prohibition against German re-armament?

No.

How many lives did the failure to attack Hitler in 1935 cost between 1939 and 1945?

Forty million lives in the European Theater of World War II.

How many lives will be lost in the next decade or two if Saddam Hussein is allowed to develop weapons of mass destruction and the terrorist networks and missile systems to deliver them to the United States, Israel and Europe.

Do you really want to find the answer to that question in a history book some day?
