Warography 101

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Tuesday, October 30. 2007 09:38
Jules Crittenden gives a good lesson on "Good" wars versus "Bad" wars this morning. I highly recommend checking it out:

Many, many years ago, nobody believed anyone could be quite so suicidally crazy as they turned out to be. And after they attacked our nation, negotiating with suicidal madmen who wanted to take over the world was considered an absurd idea. People would have looked at you like you were a madman if you suggested it. It was a simpler time. It was a Good War, and it was long, long ago. The suicidal madmen were killed instead, in large numbers. Many of ours died doing this. Finally, after many of the suicidal madmen had been killed, and the remaining ones still refused to consider surrender, it was necessary to drop two nuclear bombs, killing several hundred thousand people in order to prevent the deaths of millions more in an invasion. It was very bad, even though the war was good.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
