Hell, they blame the US for the tragedy that hit iraq yesterday. They are after all the baby boom generation--a bunch of self important, highly educated, spoiled brats. I should know--I was one of them for quite awhile. Mike

Actually, Mike, you still are "one of them." You just identify with a different set of people, and think that this time you've got it right because the set of people you ID with have sooo many weapons and money. You think that they are out for the good of the many, and know how to get there. I think they are fundamentally self important, highly educated, spoiled doofuses leading us down a road to potential disaster. Time will tell who is right.

Not that you'll recognize it--there will always be rationalizations, like--if everyone would have just repeated after us that resistance is futile, we will prevail, then the "terrorists" wouldn't have had moral support from the west and could never have forced us to withdraw. Or--if only our hands weren't tied, we could have bombed those guys into the stone age, what the hell is the use of having the strongest military in the world anyway if you can't use it?
