Anti-war.
Every pro-war argument in this thread is crap.
Without war, we would have no-one to defend ourselves against. sure you could argue that this would mean that we would have nothing to test us, but what about space, what about world hunger, what about the myriad of diseases that claim lives every second? War is not only a waste of life, it is a waste of resources. How much money does the US put into military resaerch every year? How far would that same amount of money go towards developing a cure for cancer, or a vaccine for AIDS, were there no such thing as war? War will happen, there is nothing we can do to prevent Evil-Minded Bastards being born, and stopping gullible masses of patriots and fanatics falling for their speeches, but that doesn't mean that those of us who are actually thinking have to like the fact that this is going to happen.
