I sure hope that is subtle sarcasm, Lilith, because I find it difficult to believe that an intelligent person could write such words. Can I infer from your words that you are not in favor of the “Occupation of Iraq?” (It’s so important in your mind that you had to capitalize it?). Are you then opposed to the Occupation of Kosovo? the Occupation of Germany? the Occupation of Japan? the Occupation of South Korea? the Occupation of England? the Occupation of Spain? the Occupation of Italy? the Occupation of Diego Garcia? (etc.etc.)

Regarding Afghanistand/Pakistan, do you honestly believe that the al Qaeda terrorists limit themselves to Afghanistan and Pakistan? Do you think that maybe, just maybe, you might find them in Iraq also? How about Saudi Arabia? Jordan? Palestine? Syria?

Furthermore, do you think we should only concern ourselves with the al Qaeda terrorists? How about the Hamas terrorists of Palestine? the Hezbollah terrorists of Lebanon/Syria/Iran? the Fatah terrorists of Palestine? the Islamic Brotherhood terrorists of the whole Middle East? (etc. etc.)

You sound just as clueless as the man you hope will replace Bush in January. Are you really looking forward to Jimmah Carter’s second term?
