Ok...I’m a barbarian then.

We got barbaric to defeat the British.

We got barbaric to defeat the Barbary Muslim Pirates.

We got barbaric to defeat the Spanish.

We got barbaric to Defeat the Germans....twice.

We got barbaric to defeat Imperial japan.

We got barbaric to defeat Saddam...twice.

There is nothing not barbaric about war....incuding killing a man with your bare hands.

You are free because good men have done barbaric things in the dark of night in your name.

IMHO terrorists should be impailed atop the Washington monument until it’s red with the blood of failed Jihad.

Worked before.

You are using two meanings for barbaric.

Waging war is necessary, but it can be done in an inhumane way. So it's not pacificist to curb what is inhumane in war.

Respect human life is higher than just winning. Otherwise winning isn't justice. It's survival of the strongest. That's the barbarism I'm referring to. You can read about it Thucydides.
