The aggressors are not the only ones who wage war.  Those who fought back where doing so to defend something they loved.

They didn't wage the war. 'Tis the point.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Then you have a base understanding of war.

War, when you boil it down to it's base element is killing to protect that which you love.



I disagree. Not all wars waged are waged by people trying to protect what they love.

Prove it.

 :cheersmate:

You can't be serious. How about the war the Islamic fundamentalists started? How about Hitler? How about Pol Pot? How about Saddam Hussein with Iran? How about his attacking Kuwait? Shall I go on?

Of course I wasn't serious.

Geesh!   :popcorn:

You are hair splitting.  IMO.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
