[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 145548, member: 2189"] Jones, I just found a one sentence quote that I really think IMO sez it all. [QUOTE[I][B] The state's "monopoly of deadly force" means that we hang a man who kills in order to steal a wallet but throw a parade for a leader who successfully kills 500,000 in order to steal the resources of another land.[/B][/I] ][/quote] I read an article sometime back on the subject of war itself and the writer made an interesting point in the piece. He said "there was no such thing as a just war" which at first I thought that statement was very odd. But as he went on he forced you to rethink the term "a just war" which implies that both sides are holy and absolute just in their reason for invoking warfare. As I began to look back at wars there is always an unjust aggressor and in some wars both sides are in their own way an unjust aggressor. Once you understand from that point of view, the quote above has an even greater impact on it's obvious truth. Just thought I'd share that with ya and in all likelyhood piss Big Arrow off and make his day by giving him something to rant about! You know, one commie to another!:wink: :lol: [/QUOTE]
