Re: Islamofascism And Democracy
I have this vague recollection of a rather ugly Islam topic in the past, and I don't think we want to do it again. That said, I don't feel up to getting into your link right now, and I don't think such is likely to change.
I don't recall what if any position you have taken here at , in regards to George W. Bush. There is a strong correlation between creationism and neo-con, but maybe you are not one of the such. Are/were you a GWB supporter? My instinct is that you are not a "rabid liberal GWB hater".
Has the outcome of the war so far come as a surprise to you? You don't seem to have much disagreement (as far as my feeble memory recalls) with the replies you have received.
Very much not in the admin mode,

The war an insignificant issue?
I have taken part of your message to another topic, where we can look at things from a different angle.
But for at this topic:
Btw, I did vote for GWB and would do it again on principle for reasons other than his war decisions like the appointment of Supreme Court justices, et al.
I infer from that statement that while you don't approve of GWB's having started the war et all, you consider it secondary to other issues. I would be also interested in more detail on your "et al".
George W. Bush has mistakenly started a war that has so far cost 231 billion dollars, not to mention all the lives, that appears to be having essentially nothing good coming out of it. You find that to be an insignificant blip on his overall performance as President?

Added by edit:
It seems to me that the only justification for the war is that it is part of a welfare system for the military/industrial complex.
I also changed the subtitle of this message.
Added by second edit:
"Christian" George W. "God talks to me, God is on my side" Bush has done what he has done, and you condemn Islam?

Re: The war an insignificant issue?
Buz, I gotta say you're blowing a lot of smoke here.
George W. Bush is the commander in chief. He, and he only, was the one that said "Do it".
You now see the results. A very expensive epic mess.
I did'nt imply that it was insignificant. My point was that domestic issues like life time Supreme Court appointments were significant enough to warrant support for him.
Why are those life time Supreme Court appointments more important than what is looking to be the mother of all screw ups in the last 30 years? And it may yet turn out to be a bigger screw up than Viet Nam.

Stupidity does not justify other stupidity
In an earlier topic, Holmes, myself and others discussed the "stupidity by others doesn't justify stupidity by yourself" concept.
It just occurred to me, a significant difference between the previous wars (World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, and Gulf War I) and Gulf War II. Who started them?
Only Gulf War II was started by the U.S.
By the way Buz - Which situation do you think is worse for the world, a Sadam led Iraq or an Islamic theocracy led Iraq?

A couple of related old topics
War and Majority, started 1/25/03.
Poll: Should U.S. etc. go to war against Iraq, a spin-off topic also started 1/25/03.
Iraq war opinions from almost 3 years ago.
Moose
ps: Both topics are closed to any futher replies, and Adminnemooseus thinks it best that they stay that way.
