<< And all the people that watched the living skeleton, buy his bus ticket, wait in the bus station, the bus driver that took his ticket, the fellow passengers, the hundreds of people that walked by this teen...neo-conservatives. >>

The bus driver was a neo-conservative? Was the kid wearing a sign that he was a drug user, an escapee from a mental institution, a violent offender?

<< There are roughly 28,000 homicides in the US every year; >>

Yes. There are some criminally insane, or mentally perverted people in this country.

<< ... an estimated 10,000 homeless in San Francisco. Shelters in NYC for 35,000 homeless were overwhelmed this past winter. >>

And there are budget shortages in every city, and people are working two jobs and still having problems paying their bills. No system is perfect. What do you suggest? Should we take homes away from people that work hard for them, and give them to the homeless?

<< Care to tell me how the send $1 and a letter to an Afghan child is still going? >>

Like you really care? You are all slogan and no substance.

<< How many countries cared about terrorism when the Japanese were gassed in the subway some ten years ago? >>

You are nuts. Everyone was unnerved and upset about that awful attack against the Japanese. Personally, I didn't hop on a jet with my guns, and fly to Japan to search for the terrorists, but I supported Japan's efforts to track down and destroy the terrorist nuts over there.

<< The human rights abuses are just as prevalent in Afghanistan today as they were under the Taliban. >>

Why do you deliberately post false statements? You know that this isn't true. You also know that, bringing democracy to Afghanistan is going to be a long, hard struggle. Because it is difficult, does that mean you don't want us to do it?

There are no longer daily executions in the soccer field in Kabul. Girls can now go to school. Women can walk down the street, in most cities, without getting beaten. Women also took the coverings down from their windows. While the mentally deformed Taliban were there, women could not be seen at all.

Do they have a long way to go? Yes. Have we gotten control over the entire country? No.

Just like the homeless problem in America, there are problems for which there are no easy answers.

You prefer to blame the entire system for complex problems. Throw out our democracy, because it isn't perfect.

You want to live in a dream world. You are on the wrong planet for that.
