Ah, James... and you assume that pro-war people do not know how brutal and deadly war is?
I know war is nasty, but sometimes *not* going to war leads to more, even nastier problems. For example, in the case of Iraq: less than 1,000 dead civilians during the war, as opposed to an estimated 20,000 dead civilians each year under Saddam's rule.
(And of course, the infamous pre-world war 2 appeasement of Hitler, instead of standing up and saying no.)
You cannot say "let's not fight, ever" just because civilians and soldiers will die in a war - if you do, the people that don't give a rat's arse about such things (Saddam and friends) win.
