Lazarre, from Euthenasia (g) "Once again you hurl epithets at so called terrorists who are really freedom fighters fighting against the dual hegemony of the US and Israel. These folks would do no violence if the Jews followed their request and moved to that underwater city of Atlantis." As for Amerika as i like to call it, the fascist religious right is already running my life trying to force me to defend my children when the misunderstood terrorists take over their school. I will have none of it. I support Ramses Clark and the others who want to allow the freedom fighters to express themselves freely and openly here in the US, even if a few kids get hurt or a couple of buildings full of disgusting business people come tumbling down."

You may think I fear the other side inordinately, but you've been wrong pretty consistently on trying to understand my POV and trying to tell me what I believe. In fact, if you could try not to tell me what I believe, that would be great. You really don't know me well enough. I don't spend a great deal of time worrying about the religiosity of this country, but it's annoying, and it also (I think) influences Bush and many of his foreign policies at the moment. I think he probably feels the way MLK does about Israel- for me, that's a problem. I think his biblical views have influenced his invasion of Iraq, and for that, yes, I'm worried, since the whole episode has been a fiasco, and the bill is becoming immense. He is irrational, imo, partly because he relies on his voice from God, and his religion to guide him, and I don't know what he'll do next- and that affects me a lot more than the irrational religiosity of the Iranians, or the Iraqis, or whomever. There's nothing particularly wrong with being irrational, I guess, but I don't like it, and at the moment I'm pleased a majority of the country doesn't either. Thought it's all well and good to have an election, unfortunately Mr. Bush couldn't be voted out at the last one (because if he could have been, he surely would have been.) He can do a lot more damage in 2 years, and not just by vetoing stem cells- that's the least of it.
