Let's Settle the Iraq War Question the Old Fashion Way, With a Duel

Q: Who would win in a gunfight? An Iraq War supporter or an Iraq War opponent.

A: An Iraq war supporter, of course. What kind of an idiot would pull a gun on an Iraq war supporter? Oh, this guy.

A quarrel between two firearms vendors at a Floyd County flea market on Thursday allegedly led both men -- described as "good friends" -- to draw guns. Douglas Moore, 65, of Martin, who supports the war, shot and killed Harold Wayne Smith, 56, of Manchester, who opposed it, investigators said.

2 Hey Jawa, it's "duel" not "dual".

4 What a wonderful idea, and it's good to see Amerikkkan culture is still intact- let's just kill anyone who disagrees with you.

5 I for one support the killing of anti-american war opponents. Lets get it on! I am being completely serious, they deserve nothing but hatred an death for themselves and their families.

6 I think there's really only one moral or ethical thing one can say. Whoever was the agressor deserved to get shot, no matter what position they happen to hold on the war. If both went for their guns simultaneously instead of reacting to an agressor (meaning it really was a duel) or if the person who was the initiator is the survivor, then the survivor is guilty of murder. His opinion on the war is irrelevant, both legally and morally, to the outcome.

7 a sad case of people having the right to have different choices not agreeing to respect each others choices and instead trying to hurt and kill each other ...and this is over having the right to speak youre mind on a subject, a harmless thing

8 A man may disagree with me. And I will fight to the death for my right to shoot him if he does.

9 I seem to recall a similiar story on AMW recently in which the anti-war person shot the pro-war one. No one ever said that the reasons we kill each other were always going to be good ones, or ever would for that matter.
