A little morality conundrum: We ALL support the War in Iraq. [View All]

[Tyler Durden]

I have heard THIS or THAT candidate voted/supported THIS or THAT regarding the war.

You know what? ALL of us are to blame. Try this on for size:

Did Obama vote for any resolution that contained War Funding?
Yes.

Did Obama vote for any resolution that contained Defense Department Funding?
Yes.

Therefore, Obama votes to support the war.

One step further:

Do you pay your taxes?
Yes.

Does even ONE PENNY of your taxes go to support the Iraq War?
Yes.

Can you DECLINE to pay your taxes (even though jail is a likely result)?
Yes.

Therefore, YOU pay to support the killing and torture in Iraq.


I wrestle with this one every time I open my freaking wallet, and I don't have a good answer.
