Oh, dear lord, Ric, please drop the relativist bullcrap. We are right because we believe in the rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for everyone, even those who *peacefully* disagree with us. They are wrong because they riot and kill people over some friggin polticial cartoons, they treat their women like property and slaves, they send their children to blow up civilians in the name of some distant nameless Divinity who supposedly will give them virgins and wine throughout eternity if they kill the infidels! If that isn't evil, what is, Ric?
[Not to everything literally. What I am asking is, if violence has never stoped more violence, what makes you belive that it will eventually work? If there's no point and violence will continue, why make more of it?

Didn't D-Day stop WW2 in Europe? Didn't the atom bombs stop it in Japan? What are you saying, Ric? You're really starting to scare me, because it sounds like you're suggesting that we should sit back and allow tyrants and terrorists to have their way with us in the name of peace. You CAN'T really believe that, can you?
