I have not experienced war. Though I tried to enlist I was born with epilepsy so I went to college instead. I have also never traveled a formerly imperialized nation. Though I don't view our mission in Iraq to be imperialist in nature there is no question that we are imposing some of our values (democracy) on them. Your assumption that I would fight to the death were the United States to be invaded is correct. My goal is not to jeopardize global safety or wipe out innocent human life. My hope is that through this event (and war is never the desired means) that we can find a way for lasting global peace. I know that sounds crazy but sometimes, for whatever reason, human beings find common ground in cherished peace after a war. It's like 2 high school boys going outside and fighting only to become friends later. It makes no sense and the stakes are much higher in war but the analogy still stands. Germany and Japan are both examples of this as it relates to the US. The Brits are another example. Conversely North Korea is an example of where this thought process failed. What we need to do now is hope and pray for the best.
