In general, I'm not pro-sanctions. I tend to believe in war, not sanctions.

I tend to believe in war
But only when you get to stay home and watch tidbits of it on the evening news, right? How about we put you right out in front of the first line? Hmm, sanctions suddenly don’t sound that bad, huh?
Really? War, what is it good for? This forever young soldier knew about that, far better than you.
Let the boy try along this bayonet-blade
Lend him to stroke these blind, blunt bullet-heads
For this teeth seem for laughing round an apple,
In other words if you think if the opportunity to inflict violence against those you've convinced yourself cannot defend against you exists you need no options or even a particular goal to push towards, only an excuse. Vicariously, of course, as nobody actually acquainted with life-and-death fighting has any delusions of going untouched.
Such militarism is ultimately destructing to everyone, since making violence more an element of international relations make compromises more difficult to attain, and the resulting wars cause destructions of lives and material wealth.
This is the reason why we have the United Nations.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
