Plum, I absolutely love you for your post.

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.

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

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

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!

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 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.
