I don’t see how we can say that we shouldn’t impose our values on other cultures, then hold them accountable by our values. Who are we to say that killing one’s enemies is wrong, even if it is though a despicable method like beheading?

Do your comments mean that you are willing to fight? Are you then for the war against jihadists, even if they are in Iraq, or against it?

I have to disagree on your main point. We are in a position to say that beheading is wrong. We are in a position to say that torture at Gitmo is wrong. Allowing a small group of radicals, whether they are our own citizens or jihadists, to dictate what we can and cannot say, or to justify one group’s behavior because an opposing group has committed similar transgressions, is illustrative of a complacent mindset that will make such acts more commonplace in the future.

What are my assumptions? I just want the whole thing to stop. We can get along with the jihadists if we try.

Funny… I see death in your future too…

We have screwed ourselves because Bush is on a religious mission and not living in reality. We are all suffering because of your vote and vast voter corruption. Thanks, dude for making all of our children safer.

Reality man, I know it’s painful, but face up already.

Of course the wingnuts tote out the “he violated UN resolutions so we had to invade!” Israel and the US have violated UN Resolutions too, anyone up for invading those countries? Lots of countries violate UN resolutions and we ignore them and let it slide. I find it funny that an administration that clearly abhors the UN used the UN as a justification for going to war.

It (the invasion) has nothing to do with terrorism or keeping the US safe. Iraq is simply a huge open air laboratory for testing the theory that democracy comes from the barrel of a gun. The idea that democracy will flower and spread out of Iraq throughout the middle east is foolish. The entire middle east is in essence still a fuedel society, a lot more has to happen to develop a middle class before democracy can take hold. Turkey has beena democracy for years and their form of government has yet to flowwer and spread. If the adminsitration was serious about democracy int he middle east they would have started with our so called friends Saudi Arabia, Kuwait the UAE and other sheikdoms and worked with them to move their countries towards democracy. But nope, we let them continue as they were/are. We let them turn a blind eye as the terrorists they breed so fruitfully leave their countries of originl and travel the world looking for Americans to kill.

Actually, we plan to send you… shanghai style :)

“…might cherry-pick documents”?

He*l isn’t that what they’re paid by the republiscum “reality-makers” to do?

BTW, here are latest poll numbers for Bush:

FOX/Opinion Dynamics – 42%
CNN/USA Today/Gallup – 43%
CBS – 41%
Pew – 38%
AP-Ipsos – 40%

Shortly before 3 P.M., several hundred soldiers gathered in a large hangar for Cheney’s speech. They were not told in advance who, exactly, would appear on stage. Although the response from the crowd was enthusiastic when they learned that their honored guest was the vice president of the United States, Cheney began his remarks with an acknowledgment that he was a disappointment to some.

“Well, I’m not Jessica Simpson.”

I think we would be better off with Jessica Simpson, Dick. What do you think about that?
