Paul,we agree and I'm not surprised about it. However, it didn't seemed to be possible back in 2003. You are right soldiers never start wars but people tend to support them.
I'll never forget what a french Poilu said in 1989. The journalist, in front of him, had said that WW1 had proved how brave they all were. The man replied the following :
"WW1 proved only one thing, that you had as many fools on both side of the border".
My Grand Father held a similar position about war. The only time my Grand Pa screamed at me was when I foolishly suggested that some good could come out of War. His answer was simple:
"The only thing that comes out of war is destruction, nothing is ever built out of war". Please, no need to discuss it. I would not take it badly but God himself could not challenge that.
Strangely, that didn't make me a pacifist.
