Warrior and Antiwarrior in Detailed Debate

Brian Doherty | January 3, 2008, 2:10pm

Scott Horton of Antiwar.com and an anonymous Marine non-com officer engaged in a long, detailed, and surprisingly polite exchange of e-mail debates on American foreign policy. The correspondence pulls together the sensible sides of the debate over U.S. policy in the Middle East very well (and at great length), and is worth reading in full.

Wow... I look forward to reading the exchange after work (or, shall I say, after the Iowa caucus). Go Paul!

Well, we gave it a shot here at H&R, but it was a little too "open source." I look forward to reading it.

Excellent and respectful discourse. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Screw respectful...it actually outlines a libertarian view of the war without regurgitating old lefty arguments. A truly excellent...and sadly rare piece of work.

Let that exchange be a lesson to all of ya that like to froth at the mouth and growl and snap and snipe at those you disagree with, you dumbfucks.
