So why don't you tell me one war in which there wasn't collateral damage or friendly fire? He can't give you one example of when the US miliray should be outside the US borders. He doesn't think their should be military bases abroad. He think the US should bury its head in the sand in world affairs, and the UN will take care of everything, or the people of the various countries will take care of themselves. Why are you trying to have a sensible discussion with him - he's Tweedledee....

So why don't you tell me one war in which there wasn't collateral damage or friendly fire? Exactly, that's why war should be of the last resort. At least with Iraq, it was not..........it was the only option the neocons were interested in pursuing. That's why your Pope condemned the war and criticized Bush. Remember our previous discussion. Everyone knows that you are the only perfect human being on earth. As such, you can't expect everyone else to be as perfect as you. First of all, I struggle with my demons every day. And I work real hard to do what's best for myself and for those around me. I have never ever thought of myself or portrayed myself as perfect. If it seems that way to you, then its possible I am working at a higher level. But read me carefully, that's your observation, not mine. And while we are on the discussion of perfection and morality, let me tell you something else that I believe. I believe that we are incurring a huge 'kharmic' debt with the war in Iraq that all of us.......every single last American.....will have to pay out. We have done something very wrong that will not end with the withdrawal of American troops whenever that may be.
