It's not pro-war vs anti-war. The question is deterrance vs pacifism.

Had someone suggest this to me today...that his side of the aisle wants peace...Almost every human wants peace. They just prefer a different METHOD of achieving it. (We were talking about the crap Putin is doing in Russia, and got into a discussion about the USSR and cold war)

People on the right have same motivations as us (for the most part)...but different methods and ideas for how to achieve the end result.

I realize this idea may HUMANIZE the people we are talking about, and force us to look at the real-world results of the different policies and approaches to various resolving problems...so it may be difficult for some people here. I know it is much easier just to label right wingers as evil/selfish/racist/fascist assholes who want everyone to die...It makes it much easier to dismiss them.

I have fallen into this trap before, but in reality I know it isn't the case.


What do you think?
