Deadzone, I appreciate your wish to see me bleed. It confirms something I had suspected about your character. Thanks very much; rather than wishing the same in return, I hope you live long enough to gain some wisdom and grow to regret making that sort of comment. Since you won’t bother answering any of my questions, I’ll keep my answers to yours short: Our chief ally in Iraq is Iraq. If we stay and help them, together we can beat the various factions that want to take the place over. If we leave, the people who had supported us will be killed as collaborationists. If I were an Iraqi working with the Americans, I would be very troubled by talk of giving up and going home.
Deadzone, your hatred of Bush and anyone who supports him is the only partisan thing in our debate. I don’t like Bush’s stance on immigration, his campaign appearances at Bob Jones, his failure to veto bloated budgets, or his position on gay marriage. I’ve voted for Nader as many times as I’ve voted for Bush and his father combined. My defense of an aggressive foreign policy to spread freedom around the globe, the kind of thing Truman and JFK tried to do, isn’t based on some love for the Republican party, you narrow-minded hate-filled hack.
Kristine, what goes around comes around. Since you can’t take it, you shouldn’t be trying to dish it out.
