Reply #2: I think the answer depends on the problem. [View All]

So in that sense, I'm with you. For some problems, rare though they may be, I can envision war being a great answer.



The current war is supposedly the best possible answer to a current problem. Yet that problem had several shifting definitions throughout the pre-war preparations.

So is it the answer in this case? I don't see the logic that led to "yes". If anyone can flowchart it for me, in a manner consistent with Shrub's speeches, I'd be happy to concur.





As for supporting troops (or anyone you feel like supporting), we can probably agree that support can take many forms. If you are a carpenter, and I decide to offer you some support, I might do any or all of the following:

- Send you a nice card.
- Send you a fruit basket from Harry & David (http://www.harryanddavid.com)
- Bring lunch to your family, since you can't while you're at work building houses.
- Tell your boss to send you home, since the construction site has been land-mined, you have only half the tools you need, and the current occupant is a feeble addict who has imprisoned the farmer who owns the land for the past 20 years.
- Etc.

If you'd prefer the nice card over #4, that's a wonderful preference.

But there's all kinds of support, both conceivable and receivable.
