first of all we now know that the story reported by me is most likely wrong.

Yeah...well and good, but the bias you claim of the press is splendidly examplified by your comments around this "wrong" story of yours, isn't it?

Next, sure I have 2 sons 26 and 29 years old and doing well. Since they are not citizens of the US or any of the other coalition countries, it's kind of academic to discuss the rest.

Oh...ok..so you must then be able to project to the unimaginable pain this woman must be feeling. If you can, how can anyone who is a parent do anything but give quarter or ground to such grief? It's offensive frankly to read your post.

Second, I have somehow got the impression that you support this war effort in iraq...so tell me, if you support it, what sacrifice are you willing to make on its behalf, besides those you can make in the relative safety of your uncensored computer's keyboard and another country's citizenship?

lol,
are you a parent Taro?

Are you dead?

[McCoy trying to discuss what death was like with Spock]
McCoy: Perhaps we can cover a little philosophical ground. Life, death, life. Things of that nature.
Spock: I did not have time on Vulcan to review the philosophical disciplines.
McCoy: C'mon Spock, it's me, McCoy. You really have gone where no man's gone before. Can't you tell me what it felt like?
Spock: It would be impossible to discuss the subject without a common frame of reference
McCoy: You're joking.
Spock: A joke...is...a story with a humorous climax.
McCoy: You mean I have to die to discuss your insights on death?
Spock: Forgive me Doctor. I'm receiving a number of distress calls.
McCoy: I don't doubt it.
