War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

Did you even read the link? Anything, at all, constructive to say in relation to one's perspective? You'd definitely side with all the Democratic hawks, such as Hillary Clinton.

If not, that's just flat-out weird that you'd post something like that in response to a title thread.
