Breathe. Take a breath Susan, I keep telling myself ... Okay I can not keep my mouth shut on this!
How could such an innocuous post as Claud's and Brenda's bring such ire and sarcasm and get you to draw your sword so quickly here?! Kasey, just a suggestion, choose your battles more wisely. And that's pretty much the same thing we or I am saying about the Bush administration's plans for Iraq. This is nothing more than a vendetta for his father's failures. All here are welcome to state or convey their opinions, but Kasey, - Brenda for one was defending you and others who may not be opposed to the war. And Claudia simply gave an alternative, in that the public can be a part of the process - KASEY THAT IS Democracy! Hope you ARE enjoying it! While I am no fan of Saddam Hussein, or his regime, I also can not bare to see the massacre of the innocents taking place either. If you remember we had that here on 9/11 ... and it really wasn't very fair to all the victims, their families and Americans in general. The successes of Afghanistan were based widely on a coalition of many countries. We have almost no support for this particular scenario. Although that is not always necessary. There has been a severe crippling of the monies and refuge for terrorism's purpose. But that battle is far from over, I would agree. But I find it hard to justify war in this particular case. YES we fought wars that needed to be fought, such as Revolutionary, Civil, WWI & WWII. BUt Granada, Viet Nam and Iraq here and now? Come on! And you know the thing that paricularly pisses me off here is your mocking of us, because we used our beautiful experience at Jonifest as an example. There was no antagonism or spite in either Claudia's or Brendas posts. But because we expressd some peace, love and understanding - which by the way you could use a good dose of, you fire it like a weapon right back at us. How cruel and cold. None of us were throwing any flames - oh make no mistake I am now! Yes Brenda you are very pragmatic and I always appreciate what you have to say, your knowledge stuns me. And Claudia my friend, your heart is soo big and you are a most beautiful human being. I thank both of you again for your touch and imprint in this community. To the rest of the list I am sorry for not being able to keep it shut! But lately, becasue we (liberals) are in the majority here (JMDL), we take an ass kicking. Seems I remember when we were the minority (political arena)in the 80's and early 90's we took one as well. We may not use violence to fight, but damn it we will fight for our side as well. We can not be intimidated into silence - and clearly I am not. PEACE Susan Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More http://faith.yahoo.com
