Un****ingbelievable.


Doug is quite the conpiracist, Joe. I guess he was getting jealous of
basskisser holding the "stupidest-poster-on-rec.boats" title all to

himself.


I'm not suggesting a conspiracy, child.

Back to the facts I stated above: We all (including you) know that the
situation in Iraq BEFORE the war wasn't nearly as hideous as your leader
suggested. Virtually all his reasons have melted away. Of course, he knew
this beforehand, so it made sense to rattle his sabre for as long as
possible in order to give various factions time to get warmed up.

This is what happens when a president formulates foreign policy (and perhaps
his entire world view) around the movie "Hang 'em High".




That simple-minded view of the world is shared by most of the righties
here, in case you haven't noticed. The sort of terrorism we're facing
today is the result of a myriad of complexities. This is not the war of
our fathers and grandfathers, where we were facing the evil Germans and
Japanese, and we knew where they were and most everyone wore some sort
of uniform. Today's terrorism is the result of right-wing religious
hatred and simple-mindedness, poverty, jealousy, ignorance, desperation,
starvation, decades of indignities (real and perceived) and much
more. Unfortunately, the simple-minded twits running the US government
these days only recognize black or white and, in reality, they don't
perceive those "colors" too well, either.

Hopefully, this fall we'll have a regime change in Washington, D.C.


Bull hockey! These terrorists are not starving, poverty ridden, ignorant,
desperate, etc. etc. That is garbage. Quit trying to make terrorism sound as
though it's our fault. What tripe.

Some of "these" terrorists certainly are the dispossessed, and many of
those who harbor them certainly are. The more advantaged terrorists use
the less advantaged ones to further the perceived goals of all of them.
And yes, we do share some of the blame for the current round of
anti-American terrorism, and, since the foolhardy implementation of "the
Bush doctrine" of misdirected retaliation, we are indeed to blame for
all the increase in anti-Americanism for the last year.

Your guy in the White House, the Dubya, ****ed things up royally for us
all over the world because of his stupidity, intellectual laziness,
dependence on agendized neocons and pigheadedness.

Bush is a miserable failure. It's time for him to go.
