Oh for heaven's sake! That has nothing to do with my argument at all. 
I was saying that your emotionally-based, utopian reductionism works 
against the reasonable discussion of alternatives! Alternatives to 
war, or at the very least, alternatives to the way the US is 
prosecuting military action. If you want to protest the war, fine! At 
least provide arguments based on REASON, not hyperbole, karma, and 
spurious claims about what "official" U.S. policy must be.
