A Warmonger Explains War to a Peacenik

PN: So, likewise, if the world called on us to do something, such as find a peaceful solution, we would have an obligation to listen? WM: By "world," I meant the United Nations. PN: So, we have an obligation to listen to the United Nations? WM: By "United Nations" I meant the Security Council. PN: So, we have an obligation to listen to the Security Council? WM: I meant the majority of the Security Council. PN: So, we have an obligation to listen to the majority of the Security Council? WM: Well... there could be an unreasonable veto.

...and so on. It's pretty funny.

Sort of out of date now, but still a fun read. I could probably respond with a piece that shows how the peacenik's logic is similarly tied up in knots, naive, or worse, just plain intellectually dishonest.

Check out the rest...

And why don't you write that? Who cares if it's out of date, if it's fun?

Nah, I'd rather go for a full frontal assault than some tame parody. Even if the latter is ultimately funnier, the former is more immediately more gratifying to the author. ;-)
