Re: I really want to understand
What in the world are you talking about? Who said anything about negotiating with any terrorists? Methinks you are starting to blather incoherently.<br /><br />And you are correct about one thing, Sam, in that with our current leadership, we can indeed forget about getting any help in this. Which is precisely why we need to change.<br /><br />On this topic, I suppose it comes down to one thing. If you think the Iraq thing was about the war on terror, and that somehow Iraq was involved with the 9/11 attacks, and that we are lots safer now with Saddam gone, and that somehow Iraq is going to embrace democracy and bring the rest of the mideast with them, well, then you probably should vote for your guy Bush.<br /><br />And hopefully your dreamworld won't collapse aroung you.<br /><br />But we have new terror warnings and elevated threats anew, and we have Iraq as a recruiting poster for new terrorist signees, and we go to the heartwarming step of posting soldiers in full battle gear with (presumably) loaded machine guns in front of the World Bank in Washington D.C. (Do we think the terrorists are going to storm the bank like we did Normandy???)<br /><br />I hope there are grown ups somewhere in the picture, dealing with the realities, rather than Karl Rove going after more fear and a photo- op.
