<Please answer my questions.
No. Please state what you want to state! Don't try to pull it out of me by asking ridiculous questions. You know where I stand.
Does the 10K dead include those killed
by terrorists or not?
I don't know.......I did not do the tally.
and
Do you agree with that article's
implicit premise that the US is
a terrorist nation?
That premise is not implicit; that's simply your interpretation. Does guilt play a role?
........
Well, Ted, you confirmed where you stand
and answered the question without specifically
intending to do so. I'm not surprised.
What prompted my reference to your arrogance
was language like that above where you reference
guilt and in your prior post where you talk about
"you people". Arrogance oozes from every sentence you
post. It irks me because you act like
I'm some sort of monster because I sometimes
challenge your largely emotion
based rants.
To answer your questions,
here's my bottom line position.
It's a new world after 9/11.
I'm no hawk.
I supported the war in the sense
that I support the protection
of this country and American interests.
If you were honest, you would admit
that numerous folks in the Clinton
administration and plenty of Dem
senators, like Kerry himself, believed
Saddam was a threat and had WMD. So it was
not just the Bush administration.
Given everything said by everyone, over
a long period of time, it seemed the
right thing to do.
At this point, it doesn't really matter
if we were right or wrong to go in
because we must focus on the situation
we are actually in now and make our best
efforts to handle it properly. In other
words, it's water under the bridge and
we have to focus on rebuilding the
country and getting it into the hands
of the Iraqi people.
Everything else is noise and politics.
I object to characterizations of our country
as a terrorist nation, which is a notion
you accept. I don't. That's what I called
you on.
If it's not, you should think more about what
you link.
Is that a threat?
ROFL!!! you must be joking....
if you're not, then you have an odd perspective
on what constitutes a threat. In fact, if that's
your idea of a "threat", how come you didn't
think Saddam was a "threat?"<g>
Good grief, a child on a playground wouldn't be
threatened by my remark, let alone a guy protected
in his ivory tower of opinions by the anonymity
of cyberspace.
You need some perspective...:-) |
