Send your loved ones to war?
Is it a fair question to ask of someone who supports the war: would you send your son/daughter to fight in Iraq?
Michael Moore asked that of O'Reiley. O'Reiley refused to answer the question and only kept saying "I would fight" not "I would send my son/daughter to fight." Moore replied stating the obvious, we (older generation) aren't the ones who fight - it's our kids. It reminds me of this (paraphrased) question asked to an anti-capital punishment presidential candidate: "If your daughter was raped and killed would you want the death penalty for the perpetrator?" Both seem like cheap questions to me. I also think that both can be answered in cogent ways while still supporting one's original position. Are questions like these fair questions to be asked of our political leaders? |
