Talk about and discuss the merits and demerits of particular military actions in particular places at particular times - yes.
Blanket condemnation of everything based on principle - no.
I'm not a pacifist. Humans being what they are, pacifism leads to the enslavement of the pacifists. Find a way to fix humans, or turn government over to something non-human, and then I'll consider it.
I am gradually coming to realize that I'm not necessarily even an anti-Imperialist. It's my empire, and I have an interest in making it work as well as it can. As bad as it is, it's likely better than the other options.
And I'm not a fan of general, inflexible principles. I don't think they are reasonable or useful ways to understand the world, and they are even worse guides for decisions.
I'm a bad leftist, I guess.
