ChickenHawks and ChickenDoves

The estimable Dr. Weevil outdoes himself: The Shropshire Challenge provides the definitive answer to the "ChickenHawk" calumny. Eliot Cohen may have written a more authoritative takedown, but Doc is funnier.

My only reservation (as I note in Doc's comment section) is that the real location where the anti-war "human shields" should be sent is the site of the next terrorist attack within the US; that's where the consequences of preserving the status quo will hit hardest. Unfortunately, we don't know where that is. That's kind of the problem; the anti-war idiotarians can point to innocent people in Baghdad and say "Do you want these people to die?"; the proper response would be to point to the terrorists' next victims -- wherever they are -- and say, "Would you rather they die instead?"
