the bomber blameless? What post are you reading. The bomber committed a horrific act for which there is no acceptable justification.
I just wish it was going better.

(not directed at Dan) You bet, if it was going my way, no woman?s child would die in battle. The would all be home, married to a wonderful person that you truly love, raising beautiful grandchildren that visit on Sunday afternoon.
The truth is, it's a nasty world. President Bush said we were going to fight terrorism because we all demanded it after 911, and the idiots kept raising the bar on American attacks ever since Sirhan B. Sirhan killed one of history's brightest stars and greatest leaders. The fact that we can no longer come together after an election shows what rearends some of the politicians are. The fact that the ousted party joins the enemies of this country in trying to undermine the President, the Office of the President and the country at large is truly sad.
The actions of the liberals and right wing nuts has so polarized this country that once rational people look forward to political retaliation. Up the ante or come together, it depends on your maturity level.
Have you noticed the last hundred threads where the conservatives come out of the wookwork to defend against anti-bush nonsense? (that is anti-President, anti-American) I think the Democrats and liberals would do much better if they worked on putting together a platform closer to the will of the people, will over fence sitters and not insult the majority of the voting public.

Has he ever once been wrong? Sarcasm here, just in case I need to say it

..."imbecile" or "moron"? Mr Dan might like that better. But I guess we'll never know...cuz he never tells us what he does like...always what he DOES NOT like. Maybe Mr Dan can offer a better way to deal with the situation over there. That sure would be better than all that venom and acid he perpetually spews.

greatest difficulty with History. But nice try blaming Canadians for expelling the French speaking Acadians at a time when the ONLY Canadians were French Canadians. It was actually the British and the incipient Americans who expelled them, fifteen years before the Declaration of Independence. At the time there were no English speaking Canadians.

The point is the liberals with their anti Bush agenda deliberately ignore the history of warfare and occupation. After any victory in combat, the winner just doesn?t pick up and go home. There are YEARS of work that has to be done to prevent a worse situation than the one that was just removed. We occupied Japan and Germany for many YEARS after total victory when their respective governments surrendered. Iraq is a little different in that there was no formal government surrender. The Soviet Union ended 15 years ago and most of the former Republics still don?t have a lot of democratic freedoms. One can?t just flip a switch and ?TADA? complete and perfect success. Why won?t these same liberals look at the fact that if France, Germany, Russia and the UN had been on the right side of this, the situation today would be greatly different. Not only were those entities not working with us, they were actively working against us for their own personal gain.

you didn't lecture this administration before they went in. They may have come up with a plan to deal with what you describe.

be remembering is a Bill Mauldin cartoon of the 60s:
American GI footslogging through a jungle, passes the skeletal remains of a French soldier leaning against a tree, near a sign pointing to "Dien Bien Phu." GI says, "What are you grinning at?"
Those who forget their editorial cartoons are condemned to repeat them.

You?re making the mistake of comparing Iraq to Vietnam (unless you?d like the see America fail)

like a quagmire ...
Seems the French have learned from Indochine. and Algeria, while the Russians and Americans have forgotten Afghanistan and Vietnam. And Bill Mauldin's dead, too.
As for America, I and my fellow Christians are waiting for the fulfillment of Daniel 2:44 and Matthew 6:9,10.

Do I wish things were going "better" in Iraq? Absolutly, but what I really wish is for once America can be respected for doing what's the correct thing is when the rest of the world only acts in it's own self best interest.
