<<< do whatever it takes to further our national interests and to ensure our security.>>>>> So vague, yet its apparently so effective an invitation to spend billions to develop horror weapons. There is no sense of proportion evident between the threat and the counter-measure, just an out-of-control central govt that is so dependent on war-making it has forgotten what the threat is.

Stop it. Your breaking my heart. I am more than remotely aware of the horrors of war. In a very personal, up close way that someone like you wouldn't know. You are more comfortable having someone do the fighting, so you can be free to act self-sanctimonious and pious while never even considering rejecting the benefits that someone else fought for. You want me to believe that you're a legitimate pacifist with nothing but compassion for your fellow man? Well take your happy ass, shed the trappings of this "Facist" state, and plop it down under the benevolent aegis of a Saddam or a Qaddafi. Until then, your high horse is of the two-faced variety, with an ass in the middle. Facism? That's just another in the long list of isms utilized by liberals when they want to divert attention from the fact that they are wrong. as in -Definition of _______ist (Facist, Racist, Sexist, fill in your own blank here) -noun. Anyone who is winning an argument with a liberal. Don't even try to include Clinton's abuse of his position as Commander in Chief as part of the legitimate campaign against aggression by Iraq. Outside of that, the sole blame for civilian deaths in Iraq lies with Saddam Hussein, a sad consequence of his willingness to spill any amount of Iraqi blood, as long as it's not his own. Any argument that ignores or denies that point is. by definition, invalid.
