Although it give many liberals hives to think about it, there are things where one answer excludes the other. That not everything can be true at the same time, and that you can't have your cake and eat it while simultaneously passing it out to the poor.
Believing you can fight a war without hurting anyone who shouldn't get hurt is the sort of thing that a child believes. Believing that you can go through history without ever fighting a war and still survive as a free nation is another.
