Joe is absolutely right. Force begets peace. There's nothing like some nuclear weapons to make people play nice.

would be better serving their country by fighting the war on terror, not going overkill on a war that is now being proven to have been justified with false information

That just struck me as pretty odd. What in the world are they doing over there then? Knitting? And "overkill"? If you think we're beating a dead horse here, that dead horse is still out cutting off the heads of American civilians, and I hope and pray they do not kill any of your family and friends, military or otherwise. They'd love to, you know. Sure, war royally sucks. I'd rather there were no wars too. Anyone in their right mind does. But that is a pipe dream. They brought the fight to us. They've been killing us for a long time. They'll keep doing it until they're stopped, and if we lay down and take it they'll just kill even more of us. It's time something was done and it needs to be seen through to completion, no matter how long it takes.

This is no time for half-measures. If you ever do run into some Al Qaeda goons, they aren't going to just half kill you. And if you had a knife and one of them had a knife and the terrorist was going to kill you, I don't think you'd drop your knife and say you just wanted to be friends and let him slit your throat. That is what you are asking us to do.

Would you be happier if we did go to war with China? You'd probably be very tempted to overlook the deaths of thousands of Tibetans when millions of Americans and Chinese started dying. And that is what war with China would mean. Would that war be justified in your eyes? Neither sounds good, but when push comes to shove, far better to wage a war to save millions at the cost of thousands of lives than vice versa, if you ask me. And I believe China will change for the better from the inside out. Al Qaeda and others like them will require nothing short of extermination, on the other hand.

All that said, if you ever need any help with your VX, I'm there for ya buddy. :-)
