Reply #57: You're taking a legitimate point of controversy and applying an extreme black/white formula.

So now, you suppose, you think you've found a wedge issue for arguing that people who sympathize with "anti-war" groups shouldn't vote for Obama?

I don't agree, because the issue is already LAID DOWN by the status quo, 8 yrs of the Bush admin, the existence of a Karzai gov't, the existence of obligations to DO RIGHT even when given a situation that's criminally wrong, and to do what's in the US best interest. A lot of cold hard factors.

A black/white formula isn't sufficent to grasp details in a situation where details are of the essence.
My statement "I'm glad D's aren't chickenhawks like R's, and are standing in line to sign up. I'd hate to think all the talk the past 7 years about how D's are somehow different was just bullshit." was intended to spur people to think. It was totally snarky, but I really didn't intend to pass some kind of preemptive judgment on Obama or people who might vote for Obama. Jeez. :eyes:
