hard to be inspirational...
when you're declaring war across the world, and U.S. soldiers are dying left and right to fight civil wars half a world away.

What exactly is your conviction? It's becuase of brave americans that you are able to have a voice of dissent. When would have been the right time to take the fight to the terrorists and those who harbor them? It's not pretty but the fight for freedom never has been.

not to get technical...
but iraq was a secular society, that had made war with fundamentalist Iran only 20 years ago..... Saddam and Osama got along, like we get along with Fidel Castro...And also, last time I checked the people of the Soviet Union overthrew the communists, because communism failed, not because of G.W. Bush...Everytime we accidentally kill civilians, we breed more terrorist recruits, than Osama could ever muster will all the time in the world.
The Iraq war was a farce. Saddam had no WMD. Saddam had no ties to Al Qaeda. Both facts have been admitted now by Colin Powell, and other members of the Bush Administration. Democracy comes from the will of the people, not at a barrel of a gun. Democractic agitators are building strength to overthrow the theocracy in Iran. If we attack them next, all their progress will be negated and reversed.

Its not about democracy and freedoms. Its all about Christianity, and another form of intolerance. Four more years of Religion and Politics, without eloquence.
If we were that concerned about human rights violations, American's might ask "What's a Walmart?"
As long as we can get stuff made by slaves in China for cheap, we'll quietly disregard their misgivings, right George? China has too many female babies. What's wrong with infanticide to the tune of millions, as long as China keeps stocking the shelves of America's favorite store. Or have your advisors not let you in on China's dirty little secret, ey George?
Having said this, I think George firmly believes he's doing God's work (and yes, that is a scary thought). His ambitions will be at the expense of many more American lives. Manning the battlefield without a draft. That'll be a trick. Makes me glad I have daughers.
Hova, you are 18, be sure to ask if Bytore has a room in Canada you can rent. We need you here capping, not toting an M-16, brother.
Here's the confusion...
Look at the problems Russia is having with Chechnia with radical islamic leader, Basayev, and you'll realize we have a global mess on our hands. Perhaps we have no choice but to keep calling these religious warriors "terrorists" intentionally unvalidating their cause in the name of Allah, and kill them all before they kill us.
