Are fairness and objectivity standards to which you hold yourself? Surely, you jest.

Of course I jest.

If we had listened to their objections about our invasion of Iraq, we would not be in the mess we are in today.

Most the anti-UN stuff I here seems based in some kind of urban legend stuff
OK, this is it. You are officialy an idiot. Read about the geopolitics. The UN is overrun by African countries. Guess who invaded any African country that had democratically elected governmrnts and installed current "friendly" governments? a hint - the country is run by the man who thinks he is a new Napoleon ( no, not Ted Kennedy).

We have a veto over the security council. so does every one of the 9 member nations. Other then Bulgaria, they are ALL aligned economically with France. Jesus, man, go back to school before you embarass yourself even more

We will fail as a democracy if we become a fear-driven nation of unquestioning sheep, which is what we have been for the past two years. It has resulted in what are looking like huge blunders - a never ending drag on the economy called Iraq, a huge loss of respect thru out the world, and a bitterly divided nation. We better smarten up as participants in this democracy and start demanding more accountability in our leadership. Giving Bush a blank check to wage war around the planet was a mistake.
Gee, lets point out where you are wrong - we wre sheep under Clinton, because press refused to question ANYTHing he said. How about drag of Clintons "military meals on wheels" around the world program? How about the drag of terrorism? Gee, wonder how come the recent (finished) recession started in the last quarter of Clinton's empire (Fall 2000). Now THAT FACT I took from CNN (Cerry National Network). I lived in Eastern Europe through Carter and beginning of Reagan years. One thing I can ASSURE you of: Europeans respect (it's not the same as "like") strong US presidents. Everybody liked Carter. NOBODY respected him. People feared Reagan, but also respected him. Under Clinton, US was a laughing stock. Koreans developed nukes, Al Qaeda dragged bodies of our dead soldiers through Mogadishu, we were attacked and blown up WITHOUT A RESPONSE in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1998. 9/11 was planned during a weak presidency of Clinton, because, according to Osama, Americans were weak cowards. That's what complacency and "the respect of the world" will get you. If you are stronger than the bully, you better stand up for yourself, or he'll continue to pummel you into oblivion.
Iraq a mistake? Only according to liberals who cannot see past the next election. Gee, let's see - Libya gave up it's WMD's (yes, THEY admitted they have them), Iran strangely admitted having something, Afghanistan is no longer a terririst stronghold and the terrorist from Iraq cannot infiltrate into it, we are killing Al Qaeda by the thousand (by your own admission) and the country is actually better off that a year ago, and France lost an oil deal worth $6 billion. Yup, you are right, we should have had additional 14 resolutions, until French would decided that sanctions are over . What was that you said before about war being the last resort? Gee, You were right, Bush should have waited for another 8 years, just like Clinton did. Maybe some of this terrorists would have hit whatever rock you are hiding under...

Odd. More guys died under one terrorist incident under Reagan (230 marines, Lebanon) than all those other presidents you mentioned combined. Reagan dealt with it by hi-tailing it out of there. Doesn't sound too strong to me.

"Afghanistan is no longer a terririst stronghold and the terrorist from Iraq cannot infiltrate into it,"

pretty much sums up what planet your on - Uranus.

When you said "Bush should have to wait another 8 years" what would he be waiting for ? The 14 resolutions you mentioned, at this point its looking like Saddam was actually in compliance with them, while we were the ones who were lying. Funny, I think thats what the French said. I also don't think Georgie boy has done anything about fighting "terrorists". We've had no one come up with any connection between Al-queda and Iraq. I think you are the only one left in the US that doesn't know that. Buy a paper, and get back to me.

Funny you should mention French and not other sources. re-read Kay's report. he actually found proof of at least 16 violations of UN resolutions (substantial breaches) any one of which could have been used as legal basis for invasion. I know, liberals have an attention span of one Teddy Kennedy speech, and Kay's report came out last year. I suggest you google it and read it FOR YOURSELF.

Lebanon incident happened 3 years after Jihad was declared. it was the first such act (and the last under Reagan) against US. Clinton had 10 years to be briefed on it. However, Warren Christopher said : "we do not have to fight terrorism. our strenght is the economy."

A word about the LEFT .....

Some time it is Best that people think your are an IDIOT (.but after reading all this anti Bush and ANTI AMERICAN KRAP.) IT is when certin people open their mouths that they prove themselves just that.IDIOTS>>>>>All this anti American Bashing and Neg. Things being said about thisCountry.....Remind me of a country song (when your talking down my country ..your talking on the fighting side of me) If you dont like it leave it! I,v been all over this world ..In the Military and as a civilian..and what we have here .Is what they don,t like about us.(my friend from TEXAS) it is called FREEDOME..It has never come cheap and it will never be ..But it protects Rectum Brained people Like M. MOORE and Yourself......enough is enough! You must be doing alot of TV watching. Because the things you are saying are and have been Proved not to be true and the Negativity in the messages sure won you (SOCIALIST SIDE ) over. Whats wrong with People keeping more of thier hard earned Money....The jobs that you say are going Overseas Are because of The Unions wanting More More More .....(and then agenst the will of thier members they give large sums to the Dems.) Clinton gave millons of our jobs away With NAFTA.....Jimmy Carter Was resp. for Afganastan, And the result of the Treaty that He speaks so Often ...between Egypt and Isreal.well it was that treaty that wes the reason that SADAT was Killed....and the Muslem world Started thier Recruiting and crusade agenst the West (USA) .Get Real Start reading and stop watching all those slanted News Shows that you Quoted as the truth .It,s all Propaganda and a computer man from Texas Believes IT.....Along with a few others ..who think they are in the majority...HELLO OUT THERE > People in this country are not ready to give up the rights that so many protect ( RE: God in our schools ...the ten comandments....Good Honest And Men of Character in Our Gov. (I,ll bet you even voted for Clinton ) As far as pensions and the stock Mkt....People got greedy and lost don,t blame the Gov,t.for you own stupidity......The whole stock Mkt. thing with Enron and World Com Etc..Etc.. Started a long time before Bush was ELECTED .....The word is that Janet (BUTCH ) Reno was told to back off and let it Go .Let the next admin. Deal with it..If Gore was electedhe would have had to deal with it..SO WHAT! I see that JESSIE Jackson is Talking to Kerry and Company(democrats)and very Liberal ones at That.. I WONDER WHY??????????? well since Bush has been in office JESSIE JACKSON hasen,t been getting any free CASH FOR his so called Charity orgs.....And the word is If the CASH STARTS FLOWING HIS WAY (again!!!!!!) the black Votes will be Coming in for Them )THE Democrats) Isn,t that(BUYING VOTES) ?????? And to all you liberals...that money is OUR money OUR TAX Money........It isn,t theirs to give away. The NAACP proved my point just this week ...And Bill Cosby is Right........(get it RIGHT>>>>>>>>>>)If you want to read something that will open your Eyes about what is going on in this Money for votes .read .....SHAKEDOWN The real story of Jessie Jackson.................It really bothers me on how The last Census divided the population into % of people in the USA..14 % Black 17.6 latino /Hispanic and the rest Caucausion..How does 14 %demand a 50/50 cut in the job place..and If the White members of Congress had a WHITE CAUCUS in Washington, would we be Racial?????????????? ANSWER THAT !Ther must be a name for people who think they are democrats and are being led so far to the LEFT That even their own party members like Zell miller wont go there. I call them BLIND CONFORMISTS)....IN Europe they are called Socialists..In america they are called Liberal democrats..We have not seen any thing yet. Wait till Hillary Wants to Do every thing for everybody at our expense .... ..When In 92 and again in 96 the pres. was elected by only a slim margin of approx..49 % and the total % of the registered voters that turned out was approx.48 %of our population of registered. voters. so that means that Clinton was elected by 49% of the 48% that turned out to vote.which means that less than 24% of the voters elected a president.....That is SAD !..WAKE UP AMERICANS>>CAN,T YOU SEE WHO IS putting our elected officials into office 14 % is not the majority of this country.......(GET IT ???)>>WE ARE Slow but surley loosing our freedoms...God .. Marriage .. Abortion.. Commandments ( Thou shalt not KILL.).Guns.. Religion ....And the list goes on.and on ..You History buffs. DID this not happen in Russia Germany Chech Cuba etc. etc.. (Iraq).. We (The USA)got all of the Others Thier freedome WHY NOT IRAQ???????????? I think the last real dem. was JFK He said ask what YOU can do for YOUR country (NOT) what your country can do for you....LBJ said (congressional record)1964 65 " when we sign this today They will be voting for US for the neXt 200 Yrs...... The dems. have tought people that they did not have to get an education and work hard .that the gov had programs and Welfare to take care of you .Just vote the way we tell you and we will take care of You....ARE You not Proud to be called a Liberal Democrat?????????? I Ripped my dem. voters registration card up after that CARTER THING>>>>>>My DAD Alwas told me that people think of you by the company you keep....Ted Kennedy. Clinton,Kerry. NO DAD they are not friends of Mine>>>>>>>My Friends have Character/And Values and Are honest god fearing People.....

I doubt this as well. But why exactly would you rest your case? I thought the post was rather coherent and expressive of the guys views over a broad range of issues. As opposed to your method of post after post, one long post and probably the only one, no need to continually post the same opinion.
