The Neo-Cons are the ones who benefit from wars - not the one who have to fight the wars - I suspect most of them who are most willing going to wars - is the ones who would not even dear treading near any form of war zone in real life...

Obama have never stated, as I know it, that he is against war - he stated that rather clearly in 2009 when he was in Oslo for his nobel prize speech - he stated rather clearly, for everyone who might have believed him to be a person who would not fight wars - that if Necessary US would go to war - but that the President would not use war as the first result, Rather han using other means before going to war - and that is the prudent way to go, if you first have to start another war - try your best using every tool before you choose a war.... If GWB had being going that route - he might have been remembered as a whole different President than he is remembered currently - even the re-write of history can not paint him in a better suit than he is currently - and I suspect as more things are coming to light the next 50 or so years - we would maybe despise him more than we already do... Not that he is despeased all around as it is. I think for his own saftly it is best he never travel abroad - and keept himself hidden in Texas for the rest of his natural life...

I think President Obama have no lack of fortitude because of his lack of willing going to wars all the time - I think he might have more fortitude doing what he does - than most of the others candidates for the presidency currently have - to be a president is so much more than commanding troops in war - it is about protecting the country - and hopefully also make the future little better than the past - not ruin it beyond pale like the last republican President did it... And he have been smart enough to keep good advisor's so he doesn't need to be to much messed up.. As the old russian saying goes "sometimes the tsar ride the bear - sometimes the bear rides the tsar" currently it is Obama who ride the bear - that be the ones who want war at all cost - hopefully the bear can be kept in shackles as long as possible - and Obama can keep his priorities strait - getting US back on track... Not a easy task when the last republican President managed to almost broke US..
