You are absolutely, unequivocally right Stan!

Sadly, whenever Steve reads an opinion suggesting that his fiercely-defended
dogma of "USA is right to be at war regardless of the lack of support for
it" - at home and abroad - Steve is reduced to name-calling and insults
because he has no substantive counter to the truth.
He reminds me of a cheerleader who chants oft-practiced rhymes and shakes
her pompoms to rouse the "home team" to fervor.
The cheerleader has no grasp of the technicalities of the strategy on the
field.
She only wants to be seen and heard.

OK Steve you have been seen and heard ... and heard ... and heard.
If you can't rebut with civility and truth, it's best to stay quiet and not
reveal yourself for the fool that you are.

(Come on Steve, either have a stroke from holding your vituperative response
inside, or react as we all can predict that you will.)

Steve,

and that is another thing, "our county is at war".  I never understood this 
bullets and butter version - guess I am old fashioned.  I thought that when 
we as a country are at war the whole country is at war, not just the poor 
slobs who we force to do the bloody work while the rest of us keep our 
comfortable jobs and run up record spending debt for all the Xmas goodies we

refuse to sacrifice to be without.  We do have something in common though: 
neither your nor I will volunteer our lives for this half assed war.  Now if

we could get all of those from both parties who voted for this informal war 
to understand that the rules were that a vote for the war also automatically

placed them in a draft where they might be one of those called to fight, you

would be amazed how they would find a more civilized way to solve the 
problem.  For instance the money spent for all the killing could have easily

purchased their leader if not the whole government if not the entire 
country..
