[Vision2020] Hating War, Chas

[Phil Nisbet]

Chas

What I would have to ask is, why exactly you “hate the war”?

Now I can understand that there are those that are pacifists who hate all 
war and human violence.  Those particular folks are those who opposed 
fighting even Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

Then you can believe that there is no purpose served by the current conflict 
or opposition to the purpose of the conflict.

The question I would ask, should Saddam have been removed from power?  There 
is little doubt that he was a genocidal madman, that he had previously 
invade his neighbors and also slaughtered ethnic minorities within his 
nation.  He and his Baathist Party operated an apartheid system that kept a 
limited ethnic clique in power by torturing and killing people who were 
indeed the majority of their country.

So do you hate the war because Saddam lost power?

Or is it that you hate the war because it is America projecting power 
outside its borders?  Is it that you believe that we should never send 
troops outside CONUS?  Isolationism in otherwords?

Was it OK to take action against the Serbs when they were slaughtering 
Islamic Bosnians or Islamic Albanians?  If our presence could have halted 
the slaughter in Rwanda, would that have been an allowable use of American 
Power projection?  Or is the isolationism required total?

The other classic is of course to “hate the war” because it is nation 
building and not specifically in American National interests.  Is that why 
you “hate the war”?

I am sure I have missed other reasons that some “hate the war”, not the 
least those who hate the war because its simply politically expedient to 
hate it or they simply hate Bush or hate America or hate every body and 
every thing.

So why specifically do you hate Chas?
