Remember the first rule of war, don’t let civilians at home see what it’s really like. Robert Fisk, when asked if he could accurately be described as “anti-war,” explained that if you had seen dogs eating babies in the street, you’d be anti-war too.

Hi. I agree with your point that the majority of civilians would not be pro-war if they had to see what war was really like up close and personal. That being said, I don’t think the majority of people would be pro-terrorism if they lived through the nightmare of the 9-11 bombings or sifted through the wreckage for loved ones. Let’s not be overly simplistic about war or terrorism.
