In reply to Larry.

" I imagine you would have a problem with, “peace through strength” even though the opposite would mean invasion with an horrendous cost of lives."

"Peace through strength", interpreted by you to condone the Iraq war, is precisely the cause of an invasion with an horrendous cost of lives. About a million innocent Iraqis lost their lives through our invasion. (Second Johns Hopkins / Lancet survey). Iraq had not attacked, and had no capability to attack the United States.

It isn't always ok to sit back idly while innocent people are killed also, which is why I was involved in protesting the Iraq War from before the time it began.

It is perplexing that you disagree with me while making my argument.
