Many Moose:
Mark Twain:

"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

en.wikipedia.org

Doesn't sound too much like a liberal to me.

KOAN: Many Moose I know you are not a venel person, so I will always be polite, but that is exactly the point. It "doesn't sound like a liberal to you".

We liberals are not pacifists. We just want the war to be a necessary war, not a stupid war. Iraq is a stupid war we cannot win. We cannot win that war. The iraq war is a civil war between shia and sunnie. We liberals understand that!

The iraqi Shia clerics will end up running that country in the end and throw us out; and we will have removed Irans biggest enemy and Spent trillions of dollars, all for nothing.

And regarding removing the sunnie sadam: Remember the enemy of my enemy is my friend! Iran and Iraq were counter balanced.

We can and will fight as well as any conservative. We just try not to be bully's or fight stupid wars.

We will fight and kill when necessary. FDR wanted to get at Hitler for a long time before 1941, but the isolationists at the time prevented him.

We liberals have no problem with the Afghanistan war, it is the Iraq war we think is and was nuts to engage in.

Mark Twain is one of my heros for exactly the genius in that sentence!

Cheers,
