This is just another attempt to pain anyone who disagrees with the war as a Coward, which my my accounting seems to be a slur you are quite fond of for people who disagree with your politics.

If NK marched on the DMZ, there would be a lot of American dead. A lot. Like Vietnam/WWII numbers. You wouldn't hear me complaining if we fought NK. You wouldn't hear most of the left complaining.

If China took on HK and if we actually fulfilled our moral and at least implied treaty obligations (which recent rhetoric by the WH leaves me wondering if we would) to defend a partner democracy against a tyranny, we are talking about several million dead. I would mourn them, but if China goes 1930's in asia, we're the only power that could check them (and even that is dubious).

But of course, you'll deny that. It doesn't fit with what you want to believe.

The American Left led us to and through WWII, through the great depression, and laid the groundwork for resisting the Soviet Empire. They also led us, unfortunately, into vietnam. Calling the American Left gutless is just about the same sort of Bullshit rhetoric that would have us call bona-fide war heroes gutless who resist a senseless started unilatertally by a chickenhawk little rich boy who (somehow) made it into the national guard to avoid real military duty. Its politically motivated historically ignorant convinient rhetoric for distorting whats really going on. (Hey, don't you think the term gutless might apply, Larry? Hmmm?). Theres been a lot of that going on from mad-dog partisans...

One thing you can't see about the american left in your blind partisanship is their overwhelming desire to see 'Social Justice' at work. Thats why they are glad to go to war against marauding tyrants, but are loath to see us start wars unilaterally. Interesting that they tend not to refer to the American Right as gutless cowards despit the fact that the American Right was the main opposition to entry into WWII, WWI and Vietnam.

Maybe your going to get all poopy with me because I'm not treating you with the respect you think you deserve? Take a deep breath and think about YOUR rhetoric for a second.

Now if your going to go into you usual insult mode, in the spirit of Detente, go over to Flame. I'll gladly play with you over there, Larry.
