Cute.

BTW, thinking about flip-flop Kerry, I recollect that I first called him that in February of 2004.

Upon reflection, I still think that was an accurate assessment because he really had flipped from being against the war to being for it--not the war in Iraq, but the war in Viet Nam. You see, he had become ashamed of his stand against the war in Viet Nam and at the same time he wanted to take credit for having been a leader of the anti-war movement. And the problem with that is that one should never be ashamed of being anti-war. Even while one is fighting in a war, one should be against it. Being for war is morally reprehensible. Some evils have to be fought. Hitler was one such. But the people who fought him, didn't do it because they wanted to; they had to .

The war against Iraq is morally reprehensible. It was a war of choice. It did not have to be fought. No way did a million Iraqis have to be killed to get rid of one man. When Kerry said it was the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time, he implied that war is a right option, if the time and place are right. And that's wrong. The time and place should never be part of the equation. We're not talking about a duel at sun-rise with sabers. We're talking about hundreds of thousands, if not millions, being slaughtered as collateral damage. There is never a right time and place for that.

War is, at best, a lesser evil.

Huh? You say war is justified in some cases and then say it is never justified in the next breath...which is it, Hannah? You say some evils have to be fought, i.e. Hitler, but if there's never a right time and place for war, then I guess the WWII was wrong?

Al-Quaeda, or members of that gang, attacked this country on 9/11. Al-Quaeda was a guest of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and despite the rumors of how they were going to turn over Osama Been Forgotten, they didn't. That WAS the right war, in the right place, at the right time. Just because war is horrible, doesn't mean there isn't a right time for it.

And you know damn well that Kerry was referring to the fact that we should have been fully invested in taking down the Taliban and Al-Quaeda in Afghanistan instead of attacking a country that hadn't lifted a finger against us.
