Infantilism Of the Left

Submitted by Dan, Jan 4, 2008 16:17

I've never been to war. And I'm glad I haven't. And I understand what your saying, John.

But, with all due respect, it doesn't change the fact that the "war-is-not-the-answer" mentality is, in fact, very infantile.

It reveals that the person who holds it has not considered the history of our world or of our times, when war has so often been the only answer.

War is never good. But sometimes it sadly is the answer.
