About This Quote
Yes, it is true that the people who are in charge of making the decisions for this country are not anti-war. But, to say that this does not matter is just ignorant. They are in charge because they have the power to control the outcome of this war. It does not matter if they are against war, they are still in it just like everyone else. The only difference is that they have more power to influence the outcome of this war.
