Bob this is the Blogosphere, Rational and adult discourse is two doors down at CNN and MSNBC.

As for the conflict between Jews and Arabs, I support a two State policy well aware the Arab people will never agree to live in peace which means both sides will be killing each other when my great great grand kids are suggesting you all ought to put aside your stupid religious differences and get along.

But since both sides still seek revenge for family killed when my great great grand Dad was alive, I do not hold out much hope.

and yet after hundreds of years of hate, the Irish and English manged to settle much of their differences in Ireland, pity so many children had to die before the Adults achieved that rational discourse you spoke of

I count my fellow Israelis as the few, the proud, and the still living, thanks to the fact that Saddam is no longer providing a $25,000 payment to the families of homicide bombers.

Your snarky, arrogant, elitist responses are disgusting. You could try engaging in rational and adult discourse.

The mere fact that you boil down geopolitics to whether or not “the world is a better place since we took Saddam out”” shows how utterly small-minded, parochial, provincial, and clueless you really are.

congrats, wayneraltman, your offically an idiot. and not even bush would be able to find your brain, just like he couldnt find the WMDs.

Oh by the way do you want to guess where he got some of the proprietary tech required to launch those chemical attacks.

But I digress, you would be amongst the few, the proud, the intellectually challenged, who still embrace the myth that “the world is a better place since we took Saddam out”

I speculate the vast majority of folks who lost loved ones are thankful the ranks of people still beguiled by the delusion that was George Bush’s foreign policy dwindles daily.

As for the war built on lies comment, Hundreds witnessed first hand the use of chemical agents on Kurds, so I am unsure what lies you refer to. Millions more saw the video of the aftermath. (I suppose now you would say the Holocaust did not happen?)

When the Conservatives rally around their next true leader, the Democrats will get buried. Not one minute sooner. It cannot happen soon enough if we are to save this country.

By the way, just for the record, Saddam had ample opportunity to come clean about his WMD program. For 12 years he stalled, and hid it. If anyone is to blame for the US attacking that country one need look NO FURTHER than Saddam.

Just because President Bush did not show those weapons on Prime Time television, does not mean they were not found and secured. Ask yourself, if you had the task of securing very dangerous weapons that you knew terrorists would kill to possess, would you advertise you found them? The answer is NO.

Perhaps those weapons were not there for us to find, but President Bush was not willing to take that gamble. For that, in my mind he is a bigger HERO…
