I saw a couple stickers on a car today. First there was the standard W in the oval for all those bush supporters out there. the next was also equally normal, one of the support our troops ribbon magnets. but the one that really stood out and then made me laugh was a bumper sticker that says "Except for Ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism and Communism, War Has Never Solved Anything."
To me, this is a statement against war, not for the war. If by slavery, they mean our civil war, well that was about a lot more than just slavery. And we are only one country out of many who had slaves and none of them took wars to stop.
For Fascism and Nazism, sure WWII did strike a major blow, but it didn't completely wipe out either. Right here in Cincinnati we've got white supremacist groups wanting to take a march through predominantly black Over the Rhine.
And Communism certainly didn't die because of a war. It is still alive and kicking in North Korea, China and Cuba. It looks to be on the rise in South America with Venezuela and Bolivia nationalizing oil and gas fields once again.
War has never solved anything is the outright truth and totally goes against bush and his policies. So, is this person possibly torn between being a bush supporter and a war opponent or do you they they are just as smart as bush and probably thought that the sticker was trying to make a sarcastic comment about war being able to resolve conflicts?
