The Conservative Son

"War is not the answer."

I see the bumper stickers, the t-shirts and hear this mantra chanted on a daily basis. Other than just being a shallow, completely un-thought out, asinine thing to say, it's nothing more than a pathetic slogan for know-nothings and wanna-know-nothings. It doesn't' go to the heart of the matter.

What is the answer when terrorists are trying to sink our harbored ships overseas? What is the answer when terrorists are bombing our embassies? What is the answer when terrorists are attacking our allies? What is the answer when terrorists are blowing up our cities?

The pacifists say, "War is not the answer." I say, "It all depends on the question."
