Rapaire and brucie - you always sum it up so simply and effectively. Thank you.

CarolC - tilting at windmills again? I admire your perseverence. GUEST,US has not the ability to comprehend sophisticated logic. "Nuke anyone who disagrees with our leaders" will always be the ultimate show of patriotism to him/her. Sad but true.

GUEST,US - I was in NYC on Sept 11th and spent days tracking down friends and loved ones. Some were never found. I am capable of killing terrorists. I consider it a patiotic duty. But only a fool would let George Bush and his cronies define who those terrorists are without any proof but repeated charges of "Weapons of Mass Destruction", atc. and then blindly follow them into a slaughter of innocent people. And for every dead innocent, we have created another terrorist or two or three.
Isn't it possible that the people of Iraq, even some of them, are fighting to get the US invaders out of their land? If a foreign army occupied Portland, ME, I know I would. Is this too sophisticated for you to comprehend? Or too unpatriotic?

Move over Carol. I'll take the left paddle.
