      Nope, and my stand against the Iraqi war is proof of that.

        I would support another country invading my country (they can keep Wallonia)

          It would depend on the situation of my country and that of the other one. I don't believe in anything that would preclude me instantly from supporting such an act.

            Imperialism is a bit passé, but I suppose it's always been a nice hobby for those too old or too precious in their own view to actually do the bleeding and dying necessary to carry it into practice.

              You know, you'd think it was passé, but we seem to be addicted to it.

                I'm pleased that those who support the war in Iraq and the president (myself among em) and those that oppose the war and the president can find common ground in this thread.

                  MtG, can you elaborate? Who is "too old or precious"? What are you on about this time? Who hasn't bled for their country?

                        No, I don't think so. Conquest, aside from being useless to us, is morally objectionable.

                          That's because the people at the top don't have to do the actual fighting.
