I have always found it funny people who claim to love liberty attack those who are anti war. The only thing you can be if you are not anti war is pro war. If you are pro war you are a psychopath but so many don't see it. Additionally the largest attacks on liberty are always by your own government at time of war, because war is an excuse for almost any rights being "suspended".

Neither makes sense, defense against actual attack does...
I would say it boggles the mind, but not really so much anymore.
Interesting that according to most states laws you can use lethal force in only a few specific instances. Typically something like when it is "necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. "
Yet they don't even hold to that standard when starting a WAR.
It's always 'our national interest'. Could you imagine if we were permitted to use lethal force to achieve or maintain 'our interests'?
BTW, I nearly said 'when declaring war' ... but they don't really do that anymore, do they?
