Yes,
you have the freedom to dissent, and certainly our new information age has
provided you the instruments to vocalize and distribute those
"dissensions" to a worldwide audience. A worldwide audience that unfortunately
includes thousands of cold blooded, American hating (even those Americans
who go out of their way to talk down their own country) terrorist
thugs. An audience of terrorist thugs who recognize and
use our own media and technology against US(A). It
is my very lowly opinion that in a time of war, when we have
citizens in uniform defending our way of life, including your right to
dissent, we should put up a "united' front like the name of our country
implies, if only for "appearances" sake. And "appearances" in this era of
satellite transmissions and the internet means everyone, everywhere listens in
our private discussions.

I disagree with your use of the word "purported" here, as if
Americans who disagreed with our "leadership" are
not authentic Americans. What is inauthentic is, in fact, our leadership. I
don't think at this point people who
dissent are "monday morning quarterbacks." This implies that if you haven't
volunteered to serve in Iraq, you are
somehow disqualified from having an opinion about the sorry state of
things. This reply is made privately.

Okay, fine, but maybe, you shouldn't use a public forum

love movie poster collecting to come together in a common _expression_ of

People are dying. People have died. Over 3,000 on 9/11. Remember? It seems,
sadly, so many, purported American citizens, have forgotten. Everyone has
their private, political opinions. So many are Monday morning quarterbacks.
Our representative republic has in place a system of voting for leadership
that has worked fairly well for over 200 years. If you disagree with the
choices being made by the elected leadership then use your right as a citizen
to elect leaders of a different viewpoint. Our country IS the harbor of safety
for people struggling against repression. Our country IS the beat cop, with
nightstick in hand, trolling the back alleys where rats try to hide. Our
country IS the symbol for the lowly in class to strive to become a part of the
traditional American Dream. To work hard, to love your family and friends, and
to be a good and loyal citizen to you local neighborhood block, city, state
and country.
Foggy Bottom is a reference to the State Department. It was
inside joke. It wasn't an insult. Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions if
you don't get the reference.

Do you feel like one? What was meant by you about "Foggy
Bottom" and "moral symmetry". Did you note that Judi's address was a
Military Base?
