Perhaps this is a feat of double-think equally astounding as the one he unjustly accuses SDS of When has war ever solved international conflict? For that matter, can violence ever solve any conflict? All that violence can possibly do is suppress conflict, only to have it reappear in a new but heightened form. Our sitting...
