Nobody wants war including conservatives but to Have Peace at the cost of wishful thinking is the same as the moron Neville chamberlain declaring peace in our time while hitler was planning to kill 1 billion Jews and countless millions of others.

That's the whole point of an Op/Ed page - to be unfair and unbalanced. Granted, the WP seems to have an inherent lean in general, but calling them "biased" about their opinion page is a bit of a reach.... Since when was “opinion” supposed to be “fair and balanced”?
