What I should have said was that there are those that would like to associate this type attitude with pro-war leaders and supporters, who would like to insinuation that such a plan would actually be considered, and who would promote the misguided belief that pro-war people actually believe these things are good and could work.

Poorly stated or not, I knew you weren't trying to offend anyone; that's just not your style. Apology accepted, though. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyways... I can see your points, I just don't think they'd apply to the majority of the war opposers; don't think there are any Ironworkers who'd ever think this way, either. [img]smile.gif[/img]
However, I'm not so naive to think there aren't any nutcases who'd perhaps actually support a reasoning of such a terrible nature (and you'll probably find them on both sides of the argument). Just like there are narrow-minded people practically
hoping for a terrible crime to be committed by a member of a certain minority, just because it strengthens their own stereotypes and generalizations and gives them an excuse to blame the entire minority for it, there are probably people around who are hoping for the US troops to ignore their own morals and ethics of war and cause unnecessary* and uncalled for deaths. I doubt (hope?) you'll find anyone with the latter reasoning here on Ironworks, though. All I and most people around here want is this war to be over as soon as possible and with as few casualties as possible. [img]smile.gif[/img]
*relatively speaking; as in my opinion, any death during a war is unnecessary
