I no longer waste time responding to those who lack the tetosterone to be able even to define what would anger them enough to be willing to fight.
Self-defined victims, who speak for themselves.
"Cowards die a thousand times; real mean just once."

These days, I have decided, I will just respond to them with the following quote:

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. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
~~ John Stuart Mill ~~

I am totally for military action against Bin Laden, Afganastan, and anyone that harbors terrorists. If you would have read my posts, you would have seen that although war with these terrorist countries is necessary to protect American citizens and the national security of the United Sttates, we should still be very careful to guard our civil liberties and wage war as ethically as possible. (Read the Catholic Church's Just War Doctrine if you haven't, my views on war line up exactly with theirs, even though I am not Catholic.)
