I apologize to my fellow conservatives on these threads.
I just jumped into middle of the fray, yesterday? day before? ... never a good idea. I had previously read the article and remembered it an as excellent review of President Bush's inexplicable trip halfway around the world to pay tribute to Stalinist Russia.
So, by moving Pat's last sentence to appear to be the opening statement you poisoned the discussion-well right off the bat, and it slipped right by me. Shame on me.
In its original context it reads properly as a sarcastic thumb in the eye of Bush's idiotic "democracies don't make war on each other" worldwide campaign.
Your taking it upon yourself (I'm sure you thought you were very clever) to maliciously misdirect the intent of the article is reprehensible.
I return the sentiment ... screw you EveningStar.
Do you think we should have stayed out of WWII?
I think these are just a bunch of Pat haters. If Ann Coulter wrote the same article, she'd be praised.
