We aren't at war with 'evil.' 'Evil' is undefined.  

...evil may be undefined, but I bet most folks know it when they see it.

Re: “Straw man”I like that response.

We aren't at war with 'evil.' 'Evil' is undefined. But even if it were defined... and if we were at war with it, we'd surely be at war today with China, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries, much of Africa, much of South America, Cuba, Afghanistan, part of Mexico and - too often - with ourselves. We aren't. Hence, the notion that America is a country that wars with evil is absurd.

Historically, we've gone to war with nations that threaten the status quo as TPTB see it. From a global perspective, the status quo we fought to defend was sometimes good... but often evil in its own right. These days it's gotten worse: We war with groups that threaten The New World Order, which is what TPTB ruling the Western World wants us to embrace. The New World Order is THE most evil thing threatening the world today. If it gains steam - and it sure looks like it could - it will enslave everyone.

Wars entered simply because they were 'right" are few and far between. I'd put WWII in that category, and the first Iraq war, but no other major conflict since the 1800s. We should have stayed out of the ones that weren't 'right' and the ones in which we had no significant vested interest. Our involvement was either evil itself or was simply inappropriate due to our being here and the problems being isolated to some place else.
