Now you are pouring even more nonsense on top of 
nonsense.  I never said that I "prefer" war.  I 
simply cited Aeschylus' view that war is the 
normal human condition.  (I am currently 
re-reading Lord Vansittart's 1943 memoir, LESSONS 
OF MY LIFE.  I would recommend it to you, as he 
much more of a pacifist than most but also argued 
most convincingly that the only way to avoid war 
is to be the strongest and nastiest kid on the 
block.  I recommend that you read it.  He makes a fine case.)

Yes, I would be most sad if I had posted the 
tripe you did.  Wishful thinking and sweet 
thoughts do not make the world a better place.

Please, respond if you wish, and I will give you 
the last word.  I am silent on this topic 
hereafter as the Saloon Keeper seems more in line 
with your views than with mine.
