In Bowsers defense Rob, his writing style is often offensive, but he does it as biting humor to get his point across. I think somewhere along the line, you felt Bowser insulted you personally because of your beliefs. And does that with a broad stroke, as does Tom.

But I understand his anathema to war and the misuse of power from military powers over far inferior rivals, as if THAT somehow will stop the violence. As if bigger and better violence will cease all violence. And that just doesn't happen. Especially by murdering innocents and children.

And pardon me if I'm wrong, but I believe Bowz once posted he was a real war vet, maybe the only one on these boards who has seen war close up and perhaps got blood on his hands. And for that, I would respect him over those with any an opinion of how it should be.
