There is not a jot of logical argument in this diatribe.

There is a great deal of emotion, though, and a willingness to 
assign/assume to me a great deal of non-sense for which you have no 
justification.

You also do what is so common in this type of "argument" and that is to 
assign to your prejudices words like "decent", and then by extension 
anyone sensible of the flaws must be "indecent" or not decent.

Your progression to imputing to me (at least on one reading) that if I 
am a racist then war is good news for me, is more of the same.

I think you've proved my contention!
