I did NOT say we shouldn't have retaliated for 9/11. I said that by retaliating the way Bush did he played right into Bin Laden's hands. He tossed Bin Laden right into the Briar Patch where he was right at home. What we ought to've done is have one of ours walk up to the man and just kill him---now that political assassination is also on the table as a seemingly accepted and valued weapon in this stupid and insane fucking world we are building for our youth to enjoy. I, for one, am glad to be old enough that I don't have to spend my youth dealing with these mad people decade after decade like we of the Viet Nam generation had to.

As I just said in another thread about "war", If a bee stings you, it is absolutely insane to get so damn angry you cannot see straight and start attacking every bee hive you can find with baseball bats. The result is what our troops are now facing in Iraq and whichever other country we choose to invade next. Now the draft has been brought up seriously yet again.

What's next? Are nukes seriously about to be put on the table as worthy of consideration

Well, why not?? We could get a whole lot of bees that way.

But bees, so I've heard, are like suicide bombers. Once they use their sting, that's all she wrote.
