I'm not making a moral argument; war is amoral and pragmatic by nature.
Americans sniped at British, so Vietnamese and Iraqis snipe at Americans.

I wouldn't classify myself as a liberal, either, although my strongest-held
views (environmentalism, socialism) are liberal. However, when you balance
those with my anti-egalitarian, pro-eugenics, nationalistic viewpoints, I
think you'll see you're far more liberal than I.
