All right, that certainly does shade your meaning differently. Though
the gist is still the same -- based on previous posts, you must
admit, you see the US attacks as not only unjust, but based primarily
on revenge, yes? Or am I being inaccurate again?

Then put me back on the hook, because I read it all. Though I still
ask the question to the P-List pacifists, especially you, Doug, Toby,
and Richard:
Do you feel that the United States ever been "right" in waging war,
keeping in mind that even WWII had civilian casualties? I ask,
because I wish to know the extent and limits of your pacifism.
