He sold this to the American people, before the war, with far more deceptive tactics than anything Bush has ever used. You are of course shouting about that? If you want to have an argument about whether it's a good idea - I've done that before, and might be willing to do it again. But since you've never engaged in anything resembling an argument on the subject (N.B. claiming everyone who disagrees with you is evil and/or stupid <> an argument) I think I'd have to be persuaded to do it with you. I was, of course, responding to your typically intemperate and foolish comment that the war was on because of the liberation of Iraq. No, it isn't. We're fighting a battle in Iraq - a battle where 9 brave people died today. Battles are not wars. Liberating Iraq was necessary - but not sufficient - to victory. Besides, Tom, why do you care? You think all Americans are idiots anyways, you've said so yourself. More than once. Lying to them shouldn't be a problem for you. Anyone with the sort of contempt you have for most of your countrymen shouldn't have a problem with it. I'm not sure whether I'm more stunned by the fact that you were willing to reveal your true beliefs about your countrymen that way or that you've been too stiff-necked to walk it back and thus at least maintain the illusion that any of us who don't feel that way should listen to you at all. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
