Re-reading that JC quote made me laugh.

HAD he said that, it's no wonder he got the shank from his fellow Romans.

I mean IF you have the formula to whip the multitudes into a frenzy by blinding them with rhetoric and warmongering, why admit to it???

HEY EVERYONE!!
I got you all to go to war for me. MORONS!

What a pompous and arrogant statement.

Our "war" wasn't started by us, Of course, we did happen to build some huge buildings that might have ticked some people off..

Skyscraper or hole in the ground in Afghanistan??

I have to think about it.

The long term effects of the war we took to Afghanistan and Iraq look to be beneficial in the long run. It's bad enough to fly in an plane worrying about the maintenance schedules to the fuselage and engines. I sure as hell don't want to worry about some moron with a fuse in his tennis shoe or some religious zealot yelling ALLAH AKBAR
as he noses over my vacation, my luggage and my unsuspecting rear end into some building that represents modern progress.

Patriotism?
Infantile disease?? I had my booster shots...

It's quite easy to blame ONE person when something
goes wrong-we seem to forget that Saddam had everyone fooled.....

The biggest chuckle I get is from people who call the 'war' illegal and immoral, but refuse to see what Saddam and Osama were doing before the other shoe dropped. Yep, we sat on our hands while this was going on before...but when the US, the Brits, the Aussies and ANYONE else who had the bits to join us made the move, we all were just as bad as Saddam or Osama.

When Hector Hamas or Jerry Jihad ever visit your town or city you'll hope your elected officials take a few minutes to climb out of their bomb shelters to rally the survivors with a couple of thumps on the drum....

George Bush probably wouldn't be my first choice at driving the bus to go to war....


But I'm glad there was someone with the keys, and the cojones to do SOMETHING about it
