<<I have just had it up to HERE with the word "insurgents!" I know it's technically correct, but it's just too clinical. Somehow, it sanitizes--glosses over--this bloody fucking mess that bu$hler created on a pile of LIES (not mistakes, not misstatements, not inadvertent omissions, but LIES. And, goddammit, he KNEW he was LYING). The people in Iraq who are actively opposing the US presence through force of arms are RESISTANCE or GUERILLAS, words with a much meatier and more accurate connotation than "insurgents.">> What does that have to do with supporting the troops, and why do you assume that the author is a democrat?

Go to the Smearvet site and find people who hate Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Gays, real Christians who want peace and all Democrats except Zell Miller. So what? There is irrational bigotry and hatred on all extremes. I have often said, the extreme in either right or left ends up being almost the same thing, some sort of totalitarian view of the world. The problem is our present government is unfortunately close to the radical right extreme. Many of Bush's most influential backers want one-party totalitarian rule and/or Armageddon.
