It's ok, I don't expect even the basic civilities from the right wing here.
You really do not see all of the snide remarks that you made to a person who was in agreement with your statements? Girl, you are quite the self absorbed, hateful person.

Thats cute, coming from you. I rather think you read what you want to read into my posts. Sometimes MB, statements are just simple statements, no hidden agenda at all except what you choose to put in there.
I am against it, I was from the day it was announced. I have tried to be pretty clear that I don't care who is president, I don't think we should be messing in the Middle Eastern countries, especially when we always seem to do it without any well defined plan to get in.....and get out.

The middle east is as foreign a place as it gets.....we really don't have a good understanding of it's culture and it's people's hopes and dreams for the future. Of course I abhor what some regimes are doing to their people, and I dislike it when our country panders to those regimes because of oil, or strategic location, or whatever the current political climate decides is in our "best interest".
By supporting an evil regime, we are tacitly approving of that regimes handling of their own people. We have been doing it for decades, and when we start to meddle in their internal affairs we have a really bad habit of making things worse instead of better.....which then requires us to stick around and try to fix it....we are not so adept at the fixing part. I'm a product of the Viet Nam generation......I lost friends and family to that war.....and for what? to leave the place no better than we found it with thousands of American lives lost. I have spent many a sleepless night through the years wondering how different our country would be if all those young men we lost in Viet Nam still lived, and had contributed to our country.....what things might have been invented, or businesses built....books written....paintings come to life....it's more sometimes than I can deal with. Call me a sap if you want....but such loss of life saddens me and makes me mad too.....Iraq has had the same effect, though not to as great a degree. Still, lives were lost and for what?
