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.
