In Obama’s Nobel prize acceptance speech he does a great job of illustrating the political leadership’s role in continuing war for fun and profit. Non-defensive war is not only morally defensible, but what the hell … we can’t do anything about it anyway.

(my emphasis)

The concept of a “just war” emerged, suggesting that war is justified only when it meets certain preconditions: if it is waged as a last resort or in self-defense; if the forced used is proportional, and if, whenever possible, civilians are spared from violence.

“They won’t let me have their oil,” screamed the now blue faced president as he managed to holler while holding his breath, “As a last resort I’m going to do a just war!”

We must begin by acknowledging the hard truth that we will not eradicate violent conflict in our lifetimes. There will be times when nations – acting individually or in concert – will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified.

(ibid)

So if not in our lifetime, when? In the next lifetime, President Obama, folks’ll be told by the likes of you that “We must begin by acknowledging the hard truth that we will not eradicate violent conflict in our lifetimes.”

You, Mr. Obama, are a part of the problem … definitely NOT the solution.
