War also created hitler and assisted his rise to power.
The US also turned away jewish refugees even when our government knew of their plight since our country was also awash in powerful antisemites.
What is your point again?
If the logic of war for war, death for death all in the name of national defense and security is a valid one then that would validate the actions of the insurgents currently killing our soldiers and saddams military actions in the past.
I personally see the lunacy in war for false reasons and ideals and refuse to be suckered into supporting the questionable ones.
That in no way makes me or others with similar opinions pacifists.
