1/ What made the leaders of WW2 so profound was that they viscerally knew the horrors of war. There was nothing about it that felt like a game with them. You get a sense of the depth of their grief that they had to send men to war.

Sorry to keep beating a dead horse but man, don't you remember Joe Biden in the run up to the Iraq War? As an antiwar activist I can't support him. I can't imagine anyone supporting him who was alive and conscious in the early 2000's. He is dangerous.

I ran myself; I put myself out there to articulate another way. I was passionately outspoken against the Iraq war and I campaigned on the idea of a Dept. of Peace. But now? Trump has us on a hair trigger away from war with Iran!

Do you really think Trump is going to start a war with Iran? I think if he was going to do that, he would have by now. War time Presidents always gain in popularity. Good for reelections. No, I worry more about Biden. Isn't he closer aligned to the neocon theory of the world?

Fair enough. I could point to Biden on Iraq or Obama-Biden's foreign policy but I think we're at an impasse. We are aligned on almost everything except whether Biden's foreign policy is more dangerous and whether we should vote 3rd party this time. I'll learn to live with it. :)

There is one thing worse than war. That is, giving up everything you hold dear to the thing that will destroy you. Trump will hand America to our enemies. That is worse than war.
