1. You should be very proud of yourself. |

I personally am opposed to unnecessary war, while being regretfully open to the idea that some wars are necessary.

It is becoming more of a first response rather than a last resort.

10. Easy to see how that likewise applies to the tone of one's words |

... and what is fueling the one wielding them.
Great quote, incidentally

Whether some think war is sometimes necessary or not it bears understanding that those wars usually come from unnecessary wars in the first place. It's too easy for politicians and leaders to send others to kill and die. It'll never end as long as people keep believing that war is the solution. It isn't. It's the easy way for self-serving politicians to gain power at the expense of another country.

22. I am anti-war, but I realize it's sometimes necessary. |

Iraq was unnecessary. Afghanistan was foisted upon us.

And I am anti-abortion. Does that mean that I don't support a woman's right to choose? No. Sometimes an abortion is necessary, but I am not "pro abortion."
Nor am i pro "peace at any cost."
