What about North Korea? They have been BRAGGING about their WMDs for years. Why not go after them. Three letters.

Of course.

But I was kinda being facicious. Robert Mugabe, while a terrible dictator, is no real threat to America. But he is probably more of a threat than Hussein was.

"As I write this, I'm in North Carolina, where things are no different, whatsoever. I'm afraid if I say the word Democrat I'll be arrested. "

Ha. It definitely depends on what PART of NC you are in. I know some people that have had their cars messed with b/c of a "W'04" sticker.

Name a concrete fact that proves there were connections.

give me one that proves there weren't.

Guido, are you serious? That's a really weak justification to invest billions of dollars and sacrifice hundreds of American lives.

"Give me evidence there weren't connections?" Heck, why don't we attack Canada? There's no evidence they're connected with al-Quaeda, but there's no evidence they weren't, either. And their armed forces are pretty laughable, so why not?

You know where Osama bin Laden lived? Afghanistan. You know where his top cronies hung out? Afghanistan. You know where they had training camps? Oh yeah. Afghanistan. Hey, you know where their operatives actually attacked our forces? Oman. While you're at it, Yemen and Iran have also had more confirmed anti-American terrorists running around than Iraq, which hadn't attacked the U.S. or its nationals in any way since 1993. This is according to the State Department, by the way. So why didn't we finish the job (or start it properly) in Afghanistan? If we had to attack another country so Bush could feel like a tough guy, why wasn't it one that actually threatened us?

Was it because Iraq has oil? Because Junior had a fixation on finishing what Daddy never did? Or maybe because Rumsfeld and Co. were unnaturally fascinated with a widely discredited, practically crackpot theory that Iraq was behind the original bombing of the Twin Towers?

Who knows. I just know that our national debt is out of control, the rest of the world hates us, Americans are dying for no good reason, and the real war on terror- the ideological war- is being lost. All thanks to Bush.

Plum: Afghanistan, Oman, Iraq, Iran ... they all sound the same -- how are people supposed to remember which is which? They're all populated by maniacs in turbans all plotting the death of America. I say get rid of the whole lot.

Okay, now seriously:
" do you have a better idea on how we could have attacked the al qaida, knowing full well that they were stationed in Iraq?"
--
Guido, I still can't make sense of how you came up with this statement. When did Bush even say that the US "know full well" that al-Qaeda were "stationed" in Iraq? He was talking mainly about WMDs. How did you even come up with that conclusion? I know I should probably just let this go, but I just find it infuriating that people would support a cause without even being aware of the issues.

"Who knows. I just know that our national debt is out of control, the rest of the world hates us, Americans are dying for no good reason, and the real war on terror- the ideological war- is being lost. All thanks to Bush."

Well, first of all, the national debt means nothing. I don't care about that. Second of all, America was hated looong before Bush took office, and we'll be hated long after he leaves (in 200. And lastly, I don't call FREEDOM "no good reason" to die. But whatever. I can't believe you guys think that before this war, people in Iraq were just happy-go-lucky and walked around waving American flags all day. Get real!!! The entire Middle East is a screwed up desert full of lunatics, there's no denying that.

[lovettespies]

Posted: 9/12/04 at 10:57am

Princess, first of all the national debt DOES mean something. Maybe you feel it doesn't affect you directly, but it's not totally unimportant like you implied.

Second, Bush's foreign policies have not made us HATED around the world necause we already were, you were right. Now we are DESPISED. There's a huge difference. There was only a small group of people who really had reasons to want to kill us that we important enough to give up their lives. Now we've killed innocent civilians. I certainly don't feel safer.

Third, when soliders are misled into a war for the wrong reasons, they are still dying for no reason. I have a lot of relatives over in Iraq and if they're dying I'd like them to die with all the questions about this war being answered. They deserve to know the truth. THAT is freedom.

Lastly, your generalzation about the Middle East is disgusting. of course we don't think everything is happy go lucky, but lots of places are have horrible problems and our bombs over thier cities killing them won't help. Your stereotypes of a whole group of people is WHY these terrorists hate ys.

Oaky, I think I'm done now.

Houston is far less conservative than Dallas. I've lived in both cities (I hated every moment I was in Dallas - awful awful city). I really didn't know many Republicans in Houston at all. I saw lots of Gore paraphenalia in 2000 as well as Clinton stuff during his campaigns.

PS - I attended UNT for two years as a music ed major. My first year was when they changed the name from NTSU to UNT.

"He's a WASP and we all know what that means"

I'm curious as to what this is supposed to mean - please elaborate.

"(I hated every moment I was in Dallas - awful awful city)"

I am not goong to live here ever again once O go off to college.
But I do not think that Dallas is an "awful awful city" by any means.

the gay and arty/alternative parts of Dallas are fun!

Sorry, mimichica, there was a typo there--you meant to say when Bush leaves in 4 months.

4 MORE MONTHS! 4 MORE MONTHS! 4 MORE MONTHS! 4 MORE MONTHS!

And I love places like the West Village.

Well, first of all, the national debt means nothing. I don't care about that.

You should, if you want the economy to improve. You realize national debt is money the government borrowed, right? You know what one big problem with it is? Congress, refusing to acknowledge its complicity in the Bush Administration's financial irresponsibility, wouldn't raise the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling is exactly what it sounds like- the limit of what the government can borrow from outside sources. What happens when they go over that limit? They dip into federal pension funds. That may not affect you, but thousands and thousands of federal employees think otherwise.

The entire Middle East is a screwed up desert full of lunatics, there's no denying that.

Yep, I'm a full-blown crazy Israeli. Better watch out- I might throw matzahs at you. Or apples and honey, considering the time of year.

DO NOT ****ing generalize about an area of the world you so obviously know nothing about. Especially when it includes my home country. The Middle East, like any other area of the world, has countries that range from friendly to lunatic to somewhere in between. Think a little before you talk, and I'll consider not biting your head off.

AND for your information, when I say the world is hating us as a result of this, I'm not talking about countries like North Korea that have always been hostile. That's not Bush's fault (though he has contributed to it). I'm talking about friendly, Western nations- countries that are democracies, the countries that should be on our side for all this. Instead of embracing them, Bush has been nothing but a hostile asshole, acting like they're the enemy just because they have the common sense to question his decision to attack a country THAT DIDN'T NEED TO BE ATTACKED.

I call a war that didn't need to be fought a damn ****ty reason to die. But as Erasmus said, war is sweet to those who have never experienced it. How sad is it that I've been closer to war than the President?

"The entire Middle East is a screwed up desert full of lunatics, there's no denying that."

I was taking what you said very seriously, as I think everyone's opinions should be heard and processed.

But what the fu**?
That statement proves that you have no merit in your thoughts of politics and the world.

How ignorant and sterotypical.

That's like me saying: "The entire gay community is a screwed up group of men who love to molest and rape little boys, there's no denying that"

Complete and utter bull****.

Posted: 9/12/04 at 2:28pm

The Middle East is a place (it's not all desert, believe it or not) that's full of people, Princess. People who work and play and have families and live, just like us. Once you forget that and think it's just full of weapon-touting terrorists, it's easy to blow them up, isn't it? If you never see their faces and realize they have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Just like you.

And when people from the Middle East forget that America is full of people as well, they fly airplanes into buildings. Don't forget that.

Once again, when questioned on her ridiculous comments, Princess has nothing to say - and she's still logged-on, so it's more of her willful ignorance shining forth.

Go get her Plum, although it seems a shame for someone of your awareness to waste time confronting this idiot.
