@DouglasFBaldwin you are

the slave

of totalitarian anti-semitic slave owners.

[DouglasFBaldwin]

Uhh, what about for ending Fascism, Communism, Naziism or slavery. I am pretty sure war is often times the best idea. Unless we want our children to be totalitarian anti-Semitic slave owners, then by all means, war is not their voice...
