I am also interested in the answer to this, Erika. You seem to be simply
universally against all use of force.

I disagree with this, as warfare and killing do indeed come with the
territory if we accept the premise of national borders. Whether
nationalism is a legitimate phenomenon is a different issue - and not
one that we can fix today, or even in the near term. Paradoxically, a
major reason for the broad freedoms we have here in the USA are a result
of nationalism, bloodshed and warfare. I'm speaking in the absract here
- not about specifics. Don't mistake these statements to be broad
approval of all warfare as practiced by the USA - that's a larger issue.
