Well, there have been no terrorist attacks on U.S. soil
since 9/11, so I guess the present plan is working. But,
we need to secure our borders and send all the illegal
aliens back to where they came from. In Iraq the surge
is working, so we might still win the battle over there.
We'll probably have to send troops into Sudan soon to
stop the genocide there. So we'll need a president who
has the guts to do that.

"The United Nations documents that hundreds of people 
have been killed in about 20 land and air attacks 
carried out by the government of Sudan and its affiliated 
militia in the past six months. Humanitarian workers 
have also been victimized."

However, it should be noted that Kerry is a Vietnam Vet

I am not even advocating only sweet truth here.  I read your posts. 
But this kind of attack shuts down conversation was my point.  It
makes you seem as if you don't comprehend that complex issues may give
rise to many points of view other than your own.  It also pins
something on a person that may have nothing to do with them.  Anyone
could get outraged about any topic and make someone a target for that
idea.  But it is "doctrine over person" to use a cult term.  It
doesn't allow for any nuance in the discussion once you have
identified someone as personified evil.

"Outraged am I?

Yep.

Why aren't you?"

I may be picking different battles than you are.

It does make Edg seem unhinged, but I politely suggested to Richard that 
investigating 9/11 as a possible inside job was a patriotic thing to do, a 
necessary thing to do if we want to keep our democracy, rather than a 
conspiracy nut case thing to do, and he never responded.  So maybe Edg's

Richard,

Come on.  You've increased your posting here recently and seem to be
trying to actually communicate instead of, you know, like me, rant and
run.

But for you to cite the Senate vote as justification for war is sheer
disingeniuity.  Are you forgetting the WMD lies?

Who cares if Saddam murdered 2 million -- this justifies our killing
another million?  And we put Saddam in power, so his murders are on
"our watch" not to speak of "our karma."

And we lost the Viet Nam war -- period.

More telling is your avoidance of addressing the issue of suffering. 
You seem to not understand pain.

The U.S. Senate voted 77-23 to authorize the President
to use force to unseat Saddam Hussein. The majority of
the leaders in Great Britain and Australia agreed. Most
of them haven't changed their minds about this decision.

All I'm saying is that if it's true that we are in a war,
then I would vote for the party and the candidate that I
think can win the war. I don't want to be on the losing 
side of a war - that would be suicide. The U.S. has never
before lost a war and I don't think we will lose this one.
Iraq is just a battle in the worldwide war against the 
terrorists.

"Really, if Clinton is going to suggest that Americans 
want the person most ready to be President on Day 1, 
which includes immediately taking charge of the war 
effort and dealing with our most pressing national 
security threats, she's just making the case for McCain. 
No other candidate even comes close to passing that test. 
And to say that we should vote for that candidate over 
someone who started running for President from his first 
day in the Senate is to again make the case for McCain 
over herself in a general election."
