Reply #15: That's your opinion that this particular war is for oil. [View All]

I was more sold on that idea in Iraq than I am in Afghanistan. But at this point, I'm getting a bit tired of the bumper-sticker phrases, and desire something with a bit more substance.

And really, the idea that if you think it's worth fighting for, you should fight is a bit ridiculous. That's like saying that if you think it's worth it to have trash collection services, you should collect trash. We are a society, each of us play our part. Some collect trash, others work in customer service, and others fight. Unless you want to say that only those who fight have the right to make this choice (and coming out and saying that is at least taking a solid position on the issue instead of the other BS we're seeing now) then this crap is meaningless drivel that is lowering the level of discourse.
