I am impressed with how the war in Iraq has been handled this past year. Thanks in part to an oversight requirement created, for the most part, by democrats and key advisors(those 18 milestones), the direction Generals and executive branch officials have been pushing very hard in is toward a mobilised and self supporting Iraq. There is even some U.N. training for a basic Navy! And the Iraqi Government are starting to chafe and bitch that they need to move in their own direction with decisions on religion or region focus on new elections. This is all good news. I agree with many of the opinions I have read on this thread, and disagree with some as well. One thing I am quite unhappy about is this partisan attitude everyone is willing to take. Cletus, reacharound “Yokel…” etc.: You are North Americans with a highschool or better education, the social views given you by your moms, stepmoms, fostermoms, dadmoms or other guardian to respect people and be polite, and you have navigated to a public forum to learn about and express opinions. …. Please know that disrespecting others does not defend your point, pigeonholing and titling your fellow Americans, who’s opinion you contend is incorrect, does NOT argue your point and lastly, simplifying the viewpoints of every individual in the U.S. to fall within a liberal or conservative bias does nothing but create opposition between people who essentially agree, or who diverge on certain key issues, but otherwise agree.
To put in terms I have observed to be the offensively simplistic norm on this thread (and most others, disappointingly enough):
Dude, you guys are being dumb. You’re not really dumb are you?
