I agree with OreO, because I was always strongly against the Iraq war, however I have nothing but the utmost respect for soldiers who put themselves in harm's way. I'm always behind the guys who are being shot at, but it's the people who put them there I take issue with. I agree with Ghostoker that we should not actively seek war when it is not necessary, as I felt was true with the Iraq war. And like Ghostoker, I used to think that war is never OK, but there was always the lingering issue of World War II. I cannot think of any argument that would justify our staying out of that war. So war sometimes is a brutal necessity in order to defend civilization. The thing that gets me is that the Bushies thought this was true with Iraq.
