i wasn't thinking of magneto as a country. more as an idea: that we must take sides, that ends justify means, that power is more important than anything and war is the only way to be heard. and of course in fighting oppression, he becomes the oppressor.
sorry, but this is just the type of idiotic suicidal left-wing pseudo-pacifist handwringing that i've grown sick and tired of hearing. i concede war is a devasting and horrible thing. it is an evil thing. but complete pacifism is suicidal. i know this is way overused, but it's hard to argue that declaring war on hitler was a bad thing. ask the jews if such pacifism is justified

you always have made a lot of generalizations, donny. idiotic suicidal left-wing pseudo-pacifist handwringing? were overwrought labels on sale at the stupid bins? do you get a free 'HARDBALL' t-shirt with that?
i didn't say war was always unnecessary. i agree that we had to be involved in world war II. i agree that we had to go to afghanistan. man did we half-ass that one, though.
but you and i know that the policymakers in rumsfeld's DOD didn't give a fuck about afghanistan. according to powell, wolfowitz immediately put iraq on the table after 9/11. that's where he wanted to go firstbut we had to go to afghanistan. the whole patriotic circus around it was apalling. everybody loves a good war. anyway, before we finish the job, we jumped off to iraq. does it make logical sense? does it have anything to do with 9/11? if you ask me, the neocons forgot about 9/11 as anything but an axle around which to build their war machine
