And I think you're being a bit tough on rockchick, Bugs. I believe most of us 'got' that jaw-jaw meant talking and diplomacy versus war. It's just that the subject - is diplomacy better than war - seemed so broad (or so narrow, depending on how you look at it
) as to be sort of a 'Duh!' question. Is talking better than fighting? Is living better than dying? "Duh!"
So speaking for myself, I wouldn't even know where to begin? Are we talking about a specific instance, such as the War in Iraq? How about the War on Terror? Any war?
If, as she indicated,
"I guess I could add to my definition so it was in some cases War was justifiable but I'd rather not because I've done that in a lot of debates recently." then I'd be at a loss, because I honestly believe that there are times when choosing war is unavoidable. Y'know, "Better Dead than Red".
That being said, if someone else has a way of getting the ball rolling, maybe I can expound on their points. If nothing else, I can provide rockchick with some devil's advocate points for her to anticipate.
