turd with ear flaps....did you come up with that yourself, or is it a well known saying? sorry Amos! I really like that one.

Be honest, none of us have got the slightest clue EXACTLY what this war is all about and why it suddenly seemed a good idea to get Saddam after all these years of him being a real turd with ear flaps. You either trust Bush, or you don't. He's unlikely to confide any more to us than he has done already.

Some of you trust him, and some don't.

anyway we're at war - we've just got to hope that our side is basically the honourable one. There are bound to be terrible things happen, that's what war is like.

I can't see that we're comparable to Hitler. Just the general tenor of our society with its egalitarian features. I don't think you can expect to compare us to Hitler without people being hurt and resentful. Many of our families fought against Hitler, or suffered persecution from him. Or in England, he bombed us. From where I live (I am told) you see the city of Derby burning every night - 15 miles away.

Is Chicago full of people calling each other turds with ear flaps? sound like a fun place!
