   I love the number of nimrods who think that attacking another country   
   pre-emptively is just business as usual.  Why if this is our 'right'   
   isn't it the right of any other country e.g. China vis a vis Taiwan --   
   India vis a vis Pakistan or vice versa etc etc and why isn't the right   
   of any of the countries whose governments we have intruded on against us?   
      
   aggressive war -- rather than defensive war -- has not been our   
   tradition in the past century and this emphasis on preventing war rather   
   than pre-emptive war kept us alive through the cold war.  It is a   
   dangerous foolish game that these cowardly chickenhawks are playing with   
   our country.  And it sets dangerous precedents as well as entirely   
   destroying our moral authority to try to prevent war elsewhere.
