Say, chuck, John Cavanaugh is on our side. Have a cup of coffee and read the post again. He wasn't expressing his own opinion.

Hi chuck; Re: "and if a woman dresses in a sexy manner she invites rape?" Funny you should mention it, but the rape motif does seem to hang around Iraq a lot for some reason. I see the Administration's actions in Iraq as an international version of date rape. I think that Bush was really convinced that Iraq "wanted it", and that while her leadership "said, 'no! no!'", her expatriates said "yes! yes!". I really don't think that Bush ran the war in order to capture oil supplies per se, but truly did intend on liberating the Iraqi people. And like most casual rapists, his defense is that "she was asking for it", but the truth is that he's basically a moron. -- Carl
