Oh, certainly vote however you like. That's the idea, isn't it?

Is there anything going on in this war that hasn't gone on before? In terms of what people are doing to each other, highly unlikely. War is brutal, painful, and destructive. That's its purpose. If diplomacy were successful in achieving goals without recourse to war, there'd be little reason to have one.

One difference I see in the conduct of this war is a result of greater media presence - greater accountability for misconduct. For example, if Abu Ghraib hadn't been publicized, how would those excesses have been stopped.

Should the media cover the war? How could something of such importance be left unreported?

The media have free rein to show whatever they want to? Sounds a lot like freedom of speech, doesn't it?

Should the brutal cost of war go unshown? Isn't it better to consider war with a full knowledge of the cost involved? If a war can't be justified despite its repulsiveness, how can it be justified at all?

But 'nothing going on that didn't go on before'? So, if there always was 'taxation without representation', there always should be? lol

Hmm, non-partisan? Anyone who disagrees with me is partisan? lololol

Wanting to 'change' the world? Is this a war to maintain the status quo ante? rofl

(Not a reply, just more thoughts, lol)

SCHOFIELD’S DEFINITION OF DISCIPLINE

The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and to give commands in such manner and such a tone of voice to inspire in the soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey, while the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. The one mode or the other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect toward others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself. (Major General John M. Schofield, in an address to the Corps of Cadets, August 11, 1879.)
