PS. You snipped this:

I find it interesting that you and others actually seem to get angry
when you hear of a good thing happening. Perhaps you could explain why
a report by Harry of lots of dead people seems to put a smile on your
face, but a report of a school being built causes anger and smart
assed comments.

You could address it.

Reports of death do not put a smile on my face. My sense of power is not
connected with another man's war, in the same way it's not connected with
watching gay men in helmets jump on one another in football games, and
yelling at a TV as if I was somehow a part of their activity. I'm glad to
hear of soldiers putting schools back together in foreign countries. But,
that doesn't mean that the plan, as a whole, is correct. You know that.


I've never said that the construction of a new school, or any other
good news, proves 'the plan' to be a good one. You have been
continuously critical of 'the plan', but, when asked for your ideas
you begged off with something about pigs (as I recall).

I can't provide real ideas because I don't know what other resources are
available for us to use. Neither do you. Neither of us works for the CIA or
the diplomatic services. People in those organizations certainly have
thoughts about other methods of kicking the jambs out from under "the
enemy", and it's likely that some of those ideas would work.

Meanwhile, you can be 100% sure that Bush was given other options and chose
to ignore them because the macho solution was the one that suited his
personal needs.
