Chuck, I enjoyed reading your chat with Marcos. Readers see what we all rant about and decide who is making the better points and has the better ideas and information.
Suggesting Marcos needs therapy shows more about you and your arguments than about Marcos. You lost the argument.
The great thing about the USA is that the countervailing views very rapidly find political expression and elections are never far away, for either Congress, the Senate or Presidency. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court rides shotgun.
Move too far away from what people in Peoria think and they soon yank the leash and call the MAD dog to heel.
So, it was all gung ho for throwing out Saddam and getting rid of his noocular weapons and anthrax and stuff, not to mention his sidekick Osama. But when there's no Osama, no nukes and other weapons of mass destruction, not even programmes for weapons of mass destruction if the actual things can't be found and when sons and fathers and daughters are being killed for some obscure reason which seems not to be honest, the polls soon show a seismic shift.
But I remain hopeful that the USA will get the UN going and sort Iraq out into a civilized basis. It will certainly have been a good warning to anyone thinking of harbouring terrorists, supplying money or munitions to suicide bombers at Hebrew University [which killed an American or a few of them] or otherwise causing mayhem. Saddam shouldn't have invaded Kuwait.
Syria certainly got the message. North Korea will be sweating.
As already suggested to you, there's no room in the WWKT [what would Ken think?] stream for personal pollution. Along with others who have been getting personally insulting lately, you should focus on the argument, not the person's personal defects, [as you see them anyway].
