    there should be a distinction between offensive and defensive wars.

    …that difference is entirely which side of the battle line you’re on…

      Who was the aggressor: Germany or Poland? Israel or Iran? Iraq or the US?

      Are you saying that there is no such thing as a right or wrong, good or bad side to a violent conflict?

      If so, prove it.
