<< War is primarily about will, about resolve, about how much one can and will suffer and/or risk to achieve one's goals.>> Ed: The above statement is in the present tense. In other words, it presupposes that war is aleady underway. In that light, Neocon's statement is not only accurate, but poetic. I agree with you that here are other considerations when deciding whether or not to engage. The 9/11 attack amounted to a declaration of war against the United States. I believe that the tactical decision to invade Iraq was appropriate and part of that same war; you may reasonably disagree and I don't hold it against you. I realize your opinion is based on principle. I can only hope that you accept my opinion on the same basis. Your Brother, Bruce
