Well, George, thank you for your "enlightened" thoughts on the subject. Let's see you have accused me of being a "liberal, elite, pacifist, intellectual". It would appear that you would excluded yourself from that universe. So, where does that leave you in the greater scheme of things... sub-intellectual, conservative, war monger?

I have no problem with being a pacifist as did Ghandi and Martin Luther King.  I think the road to peace needs to be exhausted before the saber rattling begins.

The common denominator between Jews of World War 11 and fundamentalist Muslims is intolerance in any form. Do you not think that the law should apply to all uniformly?

With respect to the re-emergence of the Taliban, you really need to pay closer attention to the nightly news. It is all there for your benefit whether you choose to accept or reject it.

You indicate that Americans did not support the war in Viet Nam, but do support the war in Iraq. Have you seen the opinion polls of Bush's performance lately? They would seem to indicate otherwise. I am truly sorry that your nephew was required to serve in Iraq, but if he should be a casualty of the war, I would have to ask why.

No I do not think that there were any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. If you think they were removed to Syria...Let's see your evidence.


If you think that people around the world hate us, why defend their interests at the cost of American tax dollars and Lives?

In so far as getting on board with the program is concerned, you would have to present a more rational and less emotional approach to the problem.
