I appreciate your well-reasoned reply, Binecon (and by the way, thanks for the compliment) - and Deejayway's too. It's good to have a polite, adult-like discussion here, unlike certain boards (DC's for one) where certain posters feel the need to resort to name-calling or personal insults, as they seem to think their own position won't stand on its merits.

It's a very sad fact that old men start wars and young men fight them, and that if politicians had to personally fight in their own wars there would be very few of them! (Wars, I mean, not politicians!)

The people who are the most likely to launch a war are typically the ones who know they will almost certainly not be called upon to fight it, and may be in a position to see that their children are not forced to do so either.
