Well the 25th might have been a pagan holiday but Santa came from
Saint Nicholas of Myra, a 4th century bishop.
His day was December 6th but he's now celebrated on the 25th. Still
very Christian.
You could associate him with the Nordic God Odin, but then I wouldn't
celebrate him either :)

I realize you don't want me to bring up religion but do you realize
Christmas is religious holiday? Santa comes on Christmas? Doesn't he
represent the three Kings bringing gifts or something like that?

And you think that Al Qaeda would never have attacked anywhere in the Middle
East if we had just not invaded Iraq, is that it? That's just factually wrong.
Khobar Towers? The U.S.S. Cole? You think these events were flukes? Al Qaeda
was in the middle of a global onslaught against the U.S.

Sam that is a crock of shit.
Even the Bush administration has admitted there are and probably where no WMDs.
How many scientists have were interrogated, err.. I mean interviewed? Nobody
has been able to come up with any evidence of a program beyond the dismantled
program of the early 1990's.

Lordy, if you're still trying to argue that Mr. Bush has been a good
steward of our country's resources, well, that ship sailed years ago.

It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take
military action, even if the timing was not yet decided
You might not, but the South Koreans sure do, at least the ones who still
remember the war.

I've got a guess on that:
Because many people that are reaching the age where they are beginning to
engage in political discourse are either:
1) Children of the protest era or
2) Children of parents of the protest era.
Keep in mind though that many of these people had good reason to protest,

No, more like what people said about our involvement in WWI, WWII, and Korea.
Good thing we showed up when we did.
Why is it that some people can only remember events after 1960? Like there was
no history before Vietnam.

for my part, I was very clear on the fact that WMD was only a part of why we
were going to war. It just happened to be the issue that Bush thought he could
