Aikido offers alot, Self defense is one of those. If thats all you are interested in, you can take a much shorter route getting to where you want to go.
If fighting is all thats important, than that is a sign of a person who has not evolved much.
People who train in Aikido get the big picture. It's a lifestyle, not a boxing ring.

thats not a fair statement chad...a fair amount of people take up martial arts for self-defense reasons and theres no denying that...you can go on about aikido being a spiritual martial art and so on, but the fact remains that it can be used as a self-defense method and a very good one at that...
