This is why I am really annoyed by people who automatically assume war is bad and should never take palace. This indicates to me that they believe in nothing strongly enough for violence, which means that they are a slave.

Ouch - that's a bit harsh isn't it? I'd rather allow my beliefs to be subjugated than be asked to kill or make orphans of other people's children. Does that make me a slave? Or does being given a rifle and told to march for hours and to follow orders that you neither understand, nor agree with make you a freeer person? What if your commanding officer told you to torch the village where suspected members of the opposition lived? Would you follow your commands? Do as you were told? How free are you then? What belief do you believe in strongly enough to injure someone while they look at you? What do you believe in strongly enough for you to execute someone's son? Whatever it is, it had better be good...
