Hey, wait a minute, can we back up for a second?

Let's take a look at one war that kind of illustrates the complexities of the issues involved: World War I. Most of the soldiers who went to fight in that war believed that Kaiser Wilhelm had to be stopped; they and their families back home in the United States and Canada believed it was a just war.

Today, we look back and see how much more complex the origins of the war were and that it was not a simple matter of German aggression.

It is my feeling that nations can be as evil as they want as long as they stay within their
own boundaries- it is the responsibility of their citizens to change their government


I'm glad you share my opposition to Nato's actions in Yugoslavia.

But contrary to your original post, are you now suggesting there are many reasons people should be willing to risk or even sacrifice their lives? I want to be clear about your views here before I proceed to demolish them. <g>
