Speaking of insubstantial...
Pro-war is largely silly. If it were to evolve into the theoretical fantasy counterpoint of the bulk of the anti-war crowd, I would not want to be anywhere near those folks. Similar to dealing with the Pro-Kill-Babies faction instead of Pro-Choice.
Whenever I see one of those stupid "War is not the answer" bumper stickers, I know that this is a sheltered person who is not living in the real world. What is the question that war is not the answer to? War is never a good answer. But sometimes it is the least bad one.
I hope and think that no one here downplays the serious anti-war contingent, their message, and the limitations of the use of force. But that is a sophisticated argument that is not the one that most protesters chant and get some press coverage about. This is not about elementary school platitudes and text book morality.
