I'd say that too, if I were you.
And who exactly are these people?
I don't have a problem with that. War never ends, humans are fighting creatures and the whole history of humanity is the history of trade and of war anyway.
Indeed, perhaps we should all support Saddam Hussein's corpse against Israel and against ISIL, even though the thing about Saddam's corpse is that it is dead. And perhaps we should support Arab Ba'athists in Iraq, even though they don't fucking exist in Iraq anymore, because their remnants have joined ISIL.
That would be far more consistent, I'm sure!
Seriously, why do I always catch so much flak for changing my position when circumstances force me to do so? How the fuck can I be expected to support Ba'athists in Iraq, when Iraq has just demonstrated that it is no longer interested in Ba'athism, and never will be ever again?
I don't know, because I live in reality? NATO is only option left. Trying to choose something else now is just childish.

- "See, Rei, you are inconsistent because you stopped expecting results from an army that was completely destroyed in 2003. Why aren't you still going on about that now? Why did you adapt to that situation?"
