 Politicians calling for war/violence against others should be the first ones willing and required to fight and die for their cause. 

Until this happens, I’m not going to listen to anything a bunch of armchair warriors have to say about the danger some poor people 2000 miles away pose to me. 

If it isn’t universally clear yet though that “freedom” is nothing more than the most recent catchy excuse to subjugate poor people and steal their resources, well, let’s just say I wouldn’t be the least surprised. People have a seemingly insatiable appetite for stupidity.
