The compromise between good and evil is never good. When dealing with evil,
war (force) is the only solution. Otherwise don't deal with evil. Your
solutions would bring people like Noriega, Saddam Hussien, Hitler(remember
Chamberlain and appeasement), Stalin, Il Jung and others into greater and
greater power. Negotiate with the devil and lose!

Difficult eh.
Too many people seem to think that they can't be separated but IMHO,
supporting and thanking those who suffered, died, or just turned out
in no way condones the action of the Govt that may have moved them
into that war.

My grandfather was a highly decorated vet of 3 wars.
He always maintained that war should be avoided at all cost and that
the decision to go to war should be made by those who had actually
been there, that they wouldn't be as eager as those who've never seen
the carnage, and would go to far greater lenghth to pursue peaceful
solutions.
