Robert Houston obviously has some strong opinions about war. Too bad they're also confused and irrational. He writes that "wars are against people, and therefore people are against wars." What the hell kind of logic is that?! Grant it, it is a pithy statement, downright folksy, even, but it makes absolutely no sense. He starts with a shaky premise (fighting is against people, wars are political and therefore have nothing to do with real people) and then goes downhill from there. I also question his assertion that McCain proposes we occupy Iraq for 100 years. I believe that what McCain actually said was that even if we are there for a hundred years, we cannot let the Iraqi people down. There's quite a huge difference there, but what else do you expect from a madman?
