[1] You responded to none of my examples showing that sometimes war is necessary (WWII, etc)
Yes. Sometimes war is necessary.
[2] You have not acknowledged or responded to my argument that war can be a solution (Japan, Germany, Kuwait)
No. Sometimes war can provide a solution.
[3] You have not responded to my argument that ‘limited strikes’ are ineffective.
Limited strikes are ineffective when they are ineffective. The rest of the time, they are effective.
***** Please note two and three: Large-scale conflicts can resolve issues, limited strikes cannot.
Wrong.
[4] That a precedent must be set or we must be willing to live with atrocities like 9-11 our entire lives
The postman who gets mad at his boss goes to the post office and mows down everyone there. Voila! A precedent has been set, and he will no longer have to live with his boss' atrocities. Your reasoning is identical.
[5] You have not responded to my assertion that to allow atrocities to occur and not do ever thing in you power to stop them, while hiding under the guise of pacifism, is cowardice, dishonest, immature, and ignorant.
Your assertions are the emotional rantings of a angry man with no self-control and no outlet for his frustration. You throw down the expression "everything in your power" as if it actually meant something reasonable. When you use it, it does not. You are the modern-day lynch-mob instigator. No need for investigation. No need for evidence. No need to be certain. Just a blood-lust for instant gratification. If we can't find the people who did this, then kill everybody in the first country fingered as a possible home of the enemy. It may not get the killers, but by god, it'll make ME feel good.
