So I conclude from your statement that you don't consider either Iraq or
Afghanistan to be "major" wars. So why are you so worked up about them? I
think you're just still mad at Lyndon Johnson.
And please, don't accuse me of being some kind of racist who doesn't mind us
murdering brown people. That is so lame. It's just that not all of us see the
world in as simple terms as you seem to. Simple solutions are nice, but they're
mainly for the simple-minded.
All I'm saying is if you're so gung-ho on stopping the war, why don't you come
up with something positive to do (as opposed to sniping from the sidelines) that
might help get us closer to that goal? We'll all get behind you.

You are aware, are you not, that America's major wars since WWII - called by
synecdoche "Korea" and "Vietnam" - were started by Democratic administrations
and ended by Republican administrations. Since the current Democratic
administration has greatly expanded the killing in AfPak, it's hard to argue
that they're going to reverse their policies. Voting for them is an acquiescence
to those policies.
To say of Obama and the Democrats, "Let them kill some Asians, because they
might do some good someplace else," is at best a counsel of despair, if not an
outright criminal attitude. Particularly when it seems that they're doing
precisely the wrong things elsewhere, too - not surprisingly, because they're
working for the owners of the banks, the insurance companies, the oil and
construction companies, etc. --CGE

The only way you're going to find a candidate you're in 100% agreement with is
to run for office. If support for the war is an absolute deal breaker for you,
fine. Not everybody sees it that way. But if you think the war will end sooner
if more Republicans get elected, I think you're out of your mind.
