Call me radical liberal, but I believe that war should only be used as a very last resort, and that we should turn to war only if negotiation and diplomacy fails.

I agree with you completely. I'm still reeling from a question someone asked last night if teaching preschoolers to share was communism. It shocked me completely. How can one be so stupid? The world is going to hell in a hand basket because of ideas like this, yet we "radical liberals" are the communists, and we're to blame for everything....doesn't make sense to me.

Call me a radical conservative - but I believe "peace and understanding" and the demented ideology of hatred, domination and blood lust demonstrated by the Islamic terrorists are mutually exclusive objectives.
When do you consider negotiation and diplomacy has failed? After 13 months of Iranians holding American hostages? After just how many U.N. Resolution violations? How many times do you allow a dictator to oust the UN mandated inspection team?
Simply stated - when the enemy's stated objective is to "annihilate" you, convert or murder you or overthrow your government, diplomacy seems a little lame, don't you think?

That's what we do, but sometimes, due to human nature, diplomacy and negotiation don't work. If they won't be reasonable when we attempt to reason with them, then forcing them is the only course of action. Even the UN understands that.

War is only used as a last resort. There is a point in talking when the words stop and the bombs start.

You're talking unilateral diplomacy. You got terrorist attacks in return.
