Time and again (and not only from the one poster I have highlighted) I have seen wisecracks like this about "how you would all be speaking German", or "the French are only good at surrendering" etc. While I happen to like the US, and believe the cause to disarm Iraq is just, this sort of response is just the sort of unthinking arrogance that causes some to brand the country (US) in that exact same way (mind you, I am smart enough not to brand a whole country by the actions of the few).
It was not a wise crack Davros. It was a legitimate way of pointing out to the poster that if some people had not been willing to wage war on her behalf, both her own countrymen and the USA then she would indeed be speaking German right now. War is some times both necessary and the right thing to do, and trying to simply say "War is wrong" is childish and an over simplification.

Your willingness to feel noble about it implies that others owe some undying gratitude - I think that is a bunch of pap that some people like to hide behind.
