Once you remove all the anger and name calling, you really seem to be a pretty reasonable person, and I do in fact agree with you on several points. However, you and many other people seem to be misguided as to who exactly the 'enemy' is.
Please keep in mind that the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq are two completely different things. I agree, the flying of planes into the world trade center towers was a terrible act of agression against the US, and the ones responsible should be dealt with appropriately. We both agree on that, as I believe everyone else does. But who were the ones responsible? The US Government attributes those attacks to a small group of religious extremists whose number is estimated at around 3000 individuals. It is difficult to equate or even compare this situation to events such as World War II, the agression of Nazi Germany, or the attacks on Pearl Harbor, which were acts of entire countries and agressive occupation plans.
Now contrast that with our current war in Iraq. Iraq did not provoke the war by an act of agression. They were not a threat to the US, and despite the changing reasons given by our government, we invaded their country basically unprovoked. In essence, the people fighting back are doing nothing more than defending the country against what they see as an invading force, in any way they can. They are not terrorists and had nothing to do with the 911 attacks. True, various terrorist groups are now using our invasion of Iraq to their advantage and to recruit additional members, but that is a byproduct of our actions, not the reason for it.

What name callin Brad? Hmmm lets see I typically refer to persons of middle eastern descent that are hostile to my way of life in terms that are less than flattering. Hmmm. Not a problem there that I can see. Are your liberal sensibilities injured to the core? LOL. Hey, why did we call Japanese..(japs or slant eyes or yellow bastards in WW2) or Germans (krauts , heinies or what have you)....Nuttin wrong with referring to someone who wants to kill you in less than flattering terms.
I also often refer to the leadership of the Democratic party in less than flattering terms. I suppose that those who by extension identify with those weasels also feel degraded? LOL ... No sweat of my brow there either.
Now on to the meat of the matter. The Iraq war unjust? Then why for Heavens sake did all those weasels in the Democratic party all fall into lock step with the white house? Why did they all utter the same worries about WMD and the need to take out Iraq? Why did so many of them unflinchingly and to a man support the war before they opposed it ala your girl john skerry? HUH? WHY?
Now these scumbags are doing and have been doing their level best to drag the very country they swore an oath to protect thru the mud. Disgraceful morons all of those leaders. Murtha....a snake. Kerry....an enemy of the state if there ever was one. Ted Kennedy...an old drunken traitor. All of it just because they cannot stand GW Bush. There hatred of Bush clearly outweighs the best interests of the country when they signed up for the war 100% only to now propose than Bush is an evil "Hitler" who threatens the peace of the world. Sheer idiocy unrestrained and embarassing.
So...are you offended yet? LOL.
Please.....
