What makes you think I'm a "lefty"? Taking a stance against an insane, unjust, unnecessary, and outright illegal war does not automatically assign someone a specific place on the political spectrum. Perhaps your own lunacy precludes your ability to see that there are many, MANY conservatives who can see through the lies of this administration. >If you hate this country so deeply, leave. The borders are still open. Clearly, Mr. Roosevelt needs to return to his remedial reading class. If you knew how to READ, you would have read that I, in fact, LOVE my country. I love the ideals and principles upon which it was founded. I do NOT, however, love the "gutless toadies" installed without the will of the people to LEAD the nation I love so dearly. One needn't a degree in rocket science to see the distinction here. Do YOU really hate democracy so much that you're not willing to stand up to try to save it? >Maybe France. > >There are lots of gutless socialist toadies there. You'll fit right in. Hmmm... maybe. I DO love their toast and fries (and that dressing!), but I've never been too keen on Jerry Lewis. >I am astounded that idiots like you keep spouting this drivel about the >United States killing a quarter of a million children in Iraq. I am astounded by your inability to comprehend the current situation. The reference to 250,000 children points to the number of children that will be killed by the good ol' U-S-A by our "liberating" "Shock and Awe" invasion, perhaps within the next 48 hours. The number killed through sanctions is far, FAR greater than a mere quarter of a million. >Do you have the faintest idea that Hussein was the one who had >repsonsibility for lifting the sancitons against his country? Really?!? Wow, that's news to me... all this time I had NO idea that HE was the one imposing the sanctions. And I thought WE were imposing them. Silly me. (Seriously though, I understand your argument, and it's full of holes. Even if he destroyed every last BB gun in his country, the chickenhawks in ours would insist he hadn't "disarmed." This war is just too important to them. And we've seen the degree to which they'll LIE to get it. "Evidence?!? Who needs evidence?!?") >Do you begin to comprehend that even lifting the sanctions would have >improved nothing for the people of Iraq? On this point we're in agreement. NO ONE says Saddam Hussein is a swell guy... I think we're all aware of this. Sure, he won't help his people, he'll keep all the booty for himself, he'll buy Aeron chairs for all his palaces or whatever. But jeez, it's tough to deny that clean water (to which the Iraqi people could get a little closer w/ a bit of chlorine, banned by the sanctions, don'tchaknow) *might* help stave off a little more disease. That and maybe some medicine. But sanctions are beside the point... >Grow up and at least begin to pubesce. Oh, if only I *could* stop time. Perhaps the greatest mistake my beloved country ever made might be averted. Unfortunately, it seems that when my son grows up and begins to pubesce I'll have to explain to him why America stands alone and isolated in the world, why my generation had more than he'll ever have, why he's denied the rights and liberties that my generation enjoyed... -eh __________________________ Eric Hoffsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] 207 865 0230 <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
