Mike, I can see why you scoff at the books I read. They would certainly destroy your perspective. Without them, you manage to turn black into white quite nicely. However, you are missing the war. The Islamists are intending to turn the world into their colony and we are ineffectually resisting. We are too timid, too cautions and too Liberal to engage in the evil you imagine; however, the Islamists aren't. If you want to read about acid thrown in faces, heads chopped off by the carload, limbs removed, hands cut off and cast into gutters, eyes gouged out, and women disemboweled by the Islamists you defend, I've got several books I could recommend to you.

You can't use the word "mistake" in reference to the Bush Foreign Policy -- that's like calling the Indonesian tsunami a high tide. Good god, man, get some perspective in your life. A mistake? A murderous, evil endeavor to claim the whole world as an American colony -- a mistake? -- yeah, like God's deluge was a mistake. At least God had enough sense to know he had fucked up and promised never to do it again. Fat chance of that with Bush.
