tell that to the millions of chinese massacered by the japanese in the 30's and 40's, the millions of Jews and gypsies massacared by the Nazis. Without war, the suffering would have continued. Mankind will never live in peace, we are not peacful creatures, we all want the best for our familes and loved ones and the best of things is limited thus we kill for them.
I'll make one comment on the Iraq elections, you all say the Irauqi's need to "want" a democratic socitey. Well, despite threats of violence, these people, men and women had the courage to actually go out there and vote, millions of them!. Some of them were killed for trying. How many lazy Americans would die trying to vote? Did the Japanese post WW2 want a democratic socitey? Germans? No, it was thrust upon them and now look, they are key US partners and live in thriving nations. Growth is painful, lets hope SPence and others are wrong and this country can grow and thrive with a free people.
