Where we disagree is that this is a war. And so, for me, there are 2 types of "engagements": (1.) Quickhit or help to allies. This is what the Marines and special forces are for. These last less than a year. (2.) War. This is what the entire country is for. What this means is that if I thought it was a war, then I'd think it justified my life and I'd enlist. I don't so I haven't enlisted. But I'm not asking anyone else to go either. As Americans, the President works for us. If I supported the war, then it's as good as me telling someone to go fight - or at least join up. If I supported this war in Iraq, I'd join because I couldn't ask people to go die unless I was willing to join them. So after 5 years I cannot conceive of the thinking that would ask Voodoo's platoon to jump in breach if I wasn't willing to go with them. Therefore I conclude that anyone one who can must be too hypocritical or weak or afraid to fight a war they're asking others to do (and they're ordering if they support the effort). So explain it to me: how, after 5 years, can any American who's not willing to join the effort ask others to do it for them? Because I don't get it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:258700 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
