I wish I had written it better, Dean. My dead friend was worried if he disagreed with me, we would quarrel. I really want to write something which isn't about taking sides. Histories and human expectations are complex things. In any aggression, it is the civilians that are harmed the most- because there are no empty battlefied. The Earth is home to civilians and farms, and nature. You can't even drop something from orbit anymore without it landing in someones back yard.

But thank you. I pray that better spoken, peace enthusiasts will prevail in this matter. The alternative seems to dreadful to even consider.
