       the way I've started to think about this is "if you're new to being against war, welcome! though this may be the first war you've actively opposed, there are many other wars--ongoing or only recently in a period of decline--which have also generated horrifying death, destruction, and injustice against which we can also use your help"

       @deejoe I found myself simultaneously baffled and angered by the news that the US had deployed Patriot missile batteries to Saudi Arabia.Can anyone explain to me why this country is still supporting the Saudi regime with military force? Whatever your definition of "ally" or "valuable strategic partner" or whatever, the Kingdom doesn't fit it!

       @publius "Who is supporting whom here?"  probably would go some way in demystifying the "why", I expect.
