Oh gosh, no we're in aliens built the pyramids territory.... So, Nick, in your mind is it democratic to get elected after counting ballots in predominantly Democratic areas one way and counting ballots in predominantly Republican areas another way? Moreover, Nick, do you consider the winner of an election "appointed" after a candidate has won every, single, official count of the ballots that was made? And when that same candidate was found by a media consortium to have been the eventual winner of the recount that was halted by the Courts????? Nick, you have often accused our President of being deluded. You have just demonstrated, however, that you are as deluded as anyone in this country - unable to reconcile the reality of the 2000 elections with your own worldview.
What the heck are you jabbering on about? Seems a rather bizarre response to my choosing not to go along with your idea that I should pretend to be president for the purposes of this discussion. You're talking as though I'm GWB, I guess. No, thanks. I'll just offer my thoughts and opinions as who and what I really am, not what I am in fantasy land.
When dealing with failure and loss, the healthy response is to change the > way you think, not to merely change tactics. If changing the way you think means taking the easy way out, and leaving tens of millions of people to additional suffering, then I don't agree....
Can you offer evidence that they'll suffer less if we continue on the present track? They're certainly suffering more than they did before we liberated them from Saddam... their infrastructure is destroyed... electricity, health care, nutrition, employment, etc. If things were getting better, wouldn't they want us to stay? With civil war either present or looming, the old "hope" argument doesn't work for me any more. There would only be hope if there were signs that the three feuding groups were heading toward a stable national agreement.
