Whenever someone responds with statements like that, you know they can't refute the points you've made with any sense of logic or reason. Name calling and total rudeness is a byproduct of a non-thinking mind.

I would be embarrassed to read posters who agreed with me spout that kind of nasty nonsense, which they apparently substitute for dialogue and clear thinking.

But hey, I'm not a Democrat. :-)

"...In an interview to be broadcast today in Italy, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, one of George Bush's closest allies, said he tried repeatedly to persuade the president not to go to war. The Guardian reports that, in a "behind the scenes effort" he even asked Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi to help him...."

So, PRIOR TO THE ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAQ Berlusconi and Qaddafi had a relationship good enough for Berlusconi to ask for help.

Wow, 10 years of negotiations can result in relationships between governments, even those run by dictators.

Skeptical yet? No? Try harder.
