Wow
This is the first time I have bother to look at this part of J.R.'s website. If I start typing a response I don't think I could finish before midnight.
Flaptail I am curious when and how your brother died in the service?
Eben, curious how old you are? Just so you know living in Israel doesn't automatically make you a jew. Regardless every male or female citizen of Israel has to enter the armed forces or go to work in a field chosen for you by the Israeli government.
I have never been in the service but have many friends from every era that have including four uncles who spents thirty years or more in the air force, navy, army tank corps.
Everyone here can argue about what a president did or did not do at any given point in time during our countries lifespan. When someone sits and reads all of your statements about what you believe in and what you believe to be true it is easy to see who is selfish and who isn't. I have always felt that the democrats shoot themselves in the foot during times like we have right now in Iraq. To my way of thinking I believe that we should try and help every country who believes democracy is right for them then we should assist that country every way we can. I think democracy in a middle eastern country would be great. I find it difficult to believe that the majority of my fellows democrats don't feel the same way. Most the the Massachusetts democrats think being in Iraq is an obscenity against all good and moral americans. And this is what I mean about selfish democrat. Why is it a great thing for us but not for the Iraqi's. Are they not deserving of better?
Lets be realistic Flap and Eben, where do you want the battle against terrorism taking place here or there. Part of what the troops are doing in Iraq is getting every nut who hates America out of hiding so they can get them in one place and blast the you know what out of them. It will come here to our shores once again though. And guys like you two will be the first to complain that George didn't do enough to protect you or your families. He didn't take away enough personel liberties and start house to house searches and stopping people on the street for routine questioning/interrogation. If your going to offer up all this shallow puddle-deep rhetoric at least you could back it up with answers to the problems posed and talked about. George or anyone else could no more predict the events on 9-11 than a street cop could tell which Cumberlands Farms is going to be robbed.
Eben, before you ask, I am an Irish Catholic who is married to a jew.
