No Doug, although I have no doubt that you'd love to
put me and everyone else who disagrees with you into
them.  Supporting the liberation of Iraq - is that
treason to you, or just sedition?

What I'm saying is that if, and when, you have the
decency to acknowledge the possibility that people
could honestly disagree with your great and powerful
wisdom, then I'll continue this discussion.  As long
as talking with you is about how much you everyone who
has the temerity to disagree with you is evil, why
would I bother?  I know evil.  I volunteered to go
help fight it in Iraq in the best way that I knew how.
 I recommitted to it _after_ the insurgents made
civilians their main target in Iraq, after the Baghdad
hotel was destroyed, and _again_ after what happened
in Fallujah.  I did it because I think that's the best
way that I can protect my country and her people -
even ones as arrogant as you and Brin, however much
you despise me for being in the hock of the Saudis.  I
don't think my fellow Americans are evil - even ones
like you, who are enraged by George Bush and okay with
Saddam Hussein.  Does _that_ make it clear what I
think?
