PD, thanks for your reply to how you feel about free speech. Earlier, you wrote, “Powayseller wants us to stick our head in the sand like an ostrich while muttering about peace and love. Meanwhile, our a**es would be waving in the air, the perfect target for our next butt kicking. Take your Bush and anti-America hate somewhere else.”
With such strong words, I got the impression you preferred I did not voice my opinions. Whether the government locks me up, or you ask me to go somewhere else, is only a matter of degree. Both are attempts to silence my opinion, and both are anti-American.
If you wish to have an exchange of ideas, or simply choose to go away yourself (instead of asking me to go away), then you are a true patriot.
juice, I agree with everything you say. If democracy is a goal, should we invade every country that is not a democracy?
I also think the Iraqis are too strung out on their rigid religions to get along. Saddam Hussein may have been a tyrant, but he knew the primitive tribesmen of Iraq could not handle a democracy. He kept order in Iraq.
Bush’s advisors knew the country would fall into civil war if Hussein, the only person who kept a semblance of order, was removed. Only we, the people, did not know. But don’t cover up for Bush, because unlike us, he had full acess to Middle East experts and intelligence.
I also think it’s important to admit when a mistake was made. Let’s see if we will spend as many billions digging into Bush’s deception of Iraq, as we spent digging into Clinton’s sexual escapades.
