The Cellar - View Single Post - A Laundry List of the Latest Democratic Party Screwups

What bothers me most about the anti-war activists, over and above a chronic problem with confusing "surrender" with "peace," is the antipatriotism that oozes through the lines of their arguments. It doesn't make for clear thinking or fair criticism.

They just never get that we're the democracies, in a struggle with blatant non-democracy.

Non-democracy is the source of our troubles; we don't get into donnybrooks like this with democracies.

V, re your footnote above: the first time we really ran into this where it made a difference was WWI -- better survival rates of multiple amputees. WWII did not experience this paradigm shift because it was an evolution on the previous experience, less the first war's difference in kind than difference in degree.
