as opposed to you and several others? Non, mon dieux. I simply and steadfastly shine the light of truth into a dark world. Where's the moral highground in that? ;-) Shocked. I'm shocked. There are political arguments happening at Ken's Cafe American. Paul

mike said "Sun and Jacob claim the moral high ground and they never tire of telling us so." Ken said "as opposed to you and several others?" Interesting question actually because i dont know if i would be presumptuous enough to claim the moral high ground. For me its about survival and politics. Is it moral to kill 100,000 iraqi soldiers for every 100 americans killed? Is it acceptable to bomb that apartment complex or whatever it was and kill 9 civilians in order to kill saddam? All these actions and reactions have moral consequences. I know that they do but i cant be certain about what God thinks. I am more interested in the survival of our nation and preventing use of wmds, far more mundane things than what the pacifists might believe. Thus i cant really answer your question. I just know that i dont trust folks who answer with certainty. Does this make any sense? Mike
