I think Super is asking the right question.
"Would you, yourself,
personally, fight this war?"
You know, would you actually take up arms, personally, if you had an opportunity to knock off a few Islamic terrorists?
I would. I'd do it. But I
wouldn't go enlist in Iraq. That's something
entirely different.
But yeah, I think Super's got the right idea. The question We the People need to be asking ourselves, when we're trying to decide whether we should go to war or not, is "would I fight this thing
personally,
myself" -
'Cause if the answer is "no", then I submit, that We the People probably shouldn't be fighting the war. Right?
So, my "short answer" in this space, is: would I kill an Islamist terrorist? Absa-freakin-lutely. I'd even shove a football into his hand just as he was dying.
But would I go enlist in Iraq? No way. I have nothing against those people. I feel for them, but they didn't ask for my help, and until they do, I'm not gonna lift a finger on their behalf, 'cause I got too many other things to think about.
Know what I'm sayin?
Good point, Super.
Very good point.
