To which the most reasoned response I can think of is... well, duh. I have received no enlightenment from that.
Really? So, say, FDR wasn't strong on defense? I'm going to keep hammering this point until you acknowledge it, Nick. Just sitting around and saying peace is better than war is gibberish. It's actually immoral. War is better than some peaces. If you're not willing to make that judgment, then you're basically just relying on other people who _are_ willing to make that judgment to defend your freedom, because you aren't.
Hammer all you like, you're not even in the vicinity of what I believe.
