"Otherwise, why not simply celebrate the nuclear warhead number reductions? " This may be hard for you to believe, but I just don't believe this is significant progress. The warheads are available for sale, theft, or re-arming, for the next 10 years. You are claiming this is "hate", or "most partisan liberal" thinking. I'm convinced the biggest problem is terrorism, not nation-state nuclear threats to the US, and warehousing warheads increases that particular threat, without significantly decreasing nation-state nuclear threat, since the warheads can be put back on. I'm glad y ou acknowledge my suggestions, even if you disagree. But your only response is to stick with the party line, which is the easy way out. Or, it may work! But I doubt it. The truth is, we are in the worst position economically and in national security that we've had in decades. Failure to face that means "more of the same" for the next two years, and possibly increasing disasters at home. re:Saudi Arabia - Bush & Co. have had business interests there for decades, which would be fine, if none of them were presidents. As it is, it is a massive conflict of interest. When you look at support of terrorism, it is tantamount to trading with the enemy, at some point. Their arrogance is that it doesn't matter, and anyone who thinks so doesn't count. Well, to hell with that, here's one individual who thinks it does matter, and violates the morality of both business and politics. That's not hate, but it's certainly anger and determination to find out the facts, and not let anyone get away with criminal acts, if there are any. That is justice. Like a previous essay posted, the one thing done here is advance the cause of preventing terrorism. Too bad they can't keep it a clean effort.
