    NEITHER of those two entities required full blown wars. That was the doing of the Neocons.

    So in your opinion.

    War is total and absolute, and ANY action is excusable?

    Pretty much. They have the sort of worldview that made the world wars so bloody.

    Yet it was full on wars that took care of them.

    1/2 wars like Vietnam are the ones we lose.

    Had Johnson gone for uncle Ho's throat the Vietnam war would have been short with a lot less suffering and that falls fully on liberals.

    Gee. Seems to me that Isis and Co still exist. Looks like we didnt take care of them after all.

    And we pretty much created the power vacuum for them to exist in the first place.

    Saying war is not a game to be played by liberal rules is not the same thing as saying "ANY action is excusable." Nice try at a straw man fallacy.

    It wasnt a statement. It was a question. Learn to read and comprehend please.

    It was the total war doctrine that is part of what made the two world wars as bloody as they were.
