Edit: In case people don't understand why this is the kind of comment we'd call out: I've said a few times in different ways that Hacker News should be a place where we can discuss difficult topics. There are few more difficult topics than armed conflict between nations. It's pointless to have a discussion that mostly consists of people with entrenched oppsing views hurling insults at each other. If somebody is wrong, refute them with opposing evidence. Otherwise the only thing we'll achieve is to drive away anyone who is interested in actually learning anything new about the topic, in which case we're much better off not having the discussion at all.
