Well, Charley, I look at the contributors to the thread and I believe they'd have a major 1,000 post fight over whether beige is a real color, only about 97% will spell it "colour". Mudcat Traveling Wrecking Crew. But everybody's still pals at the end, and ready to carry it on somewhere else, right?

...and all most of us, including you and I, do is "self indulgent venting". (Actually, it's just venting, because it is, by nature, self indulgent.)

I'm trying to take a more practical view of world events. Yes, there is good and bad, right and wrong, but they're often so jumbled up it's hard to tell where things fall on the big balance. After something's over and done, we can talk about it, but it won't change anything that already happened. Whether or not anyone thinks killing a past, present and (probably) future terrorist who leads an association of terrorists is a good or bad thing, it already happened. I don't this will all happen again the same way... I mean OBL. The argument probably will go on forever, in infinite variation.
