Your stance would be that America was wrong to bomb Germany during WWII.
My stance is that in an extreme case which is highly unlikely to come about, sometimes war is needed. If it can be avoided, it should be, but there are limits to this.
It is not McCain singing "Bomb Iran" or Hillary voting for a measure that declared the lawful army of Iran a terrorist organisation.
It is acknowledging that there are times when war is called for.
