Everyone is suffering, Ed. Innocent victims are the targets of terrorism, Ed. Our soldiers are attempting to do something about that Ed. Those facts seem to escape your logic ... Ed. Are you deliberately obtuse or is it beyond your ability to pierce through your preconceived notions of everyone that disagrees with you as being incapable of recognizing the threat of terrorism? Let me put it in caps for you: MOST PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE THE WAR IN IRAQ UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF TERRORISM AND THE BAD INTENTIONS OF TERRORISTS. IT'S THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE POLICY OF FIGHTING A WAR IN IRAQ TO MAKE AMERICANS SAFER THAT THEY DISAGREE WITH. When you're willing to get off the "we have good intentions" and "the terrorists are bad guys" mantra and actually discuss whether what we've done, and are doing, in Iraq is helping or hurting, then let me know. In other words, stop setting up Rush Limbaugh straw men and deal with the arguments of the real opposition---or just keep singing off key if you don't mind making an intellectual spectacle of yourself.
