"I thought the article you posted was hopelessly naive and self refuting"

and I think that people who buy into the normal arguments for war are just buying into their own FEAR and parrot the "boilerplate" justifications provided by their leaders and the "news" channels.

It's the classic thing that manipulative leadership does.
Connect people with the external THREAT (real or imagined).
Get everybody AFRAID. Demonize the enemy. Go to war.

I don't buy it. If you do, that's your choice and you are welcome to it.

Namaste!

Jim
