Hi carl, you're right. I twisted AR's words there a bit, in deference to the way she twisted logic. <g>

Ayn would write me off as a "goddamned pacifist", no doubt, but she'd be wrong.

That way of thinking is insane IMO. Civilians in some countries are little more than slaves living in constant fear of their military, so to justify killing them is absolute insanity. I will always feel sorry for innocent civilians who happen to get caught in the winds of war.
