This is an interesting essay by an unknown author. It makes a case for war, and discusses why the Arab culture hates us. Lots of thought-provoking ideas in it, and I recommend reading it when you have time (it is pretty long):

A Case for War

Yesterday afternoon I went to visit an older woman from our church who lives in just about the best assisted living place in our area.

She's pretty new member, but soon after joining, her health declined, so if I'd ever met her, I sure didn't remember...

We had a nice talk, & it came out that her son is a UN diplomat: for the last dozen years, he's been the head of the UN Asian division ...now switching the head of the UN Europe division.

Such an odd coincidence!

The she said she'd been a strong Bush supporter, but was against the war, and his tax cut for the rich...the dividend tax cut part, especially...

This woman is obviously well to- do, and no worries about money...

So I answered that many elderly needed ALL the dividend money they could get. They weren't wealthy, and the twice-taxed system was unfair to them.

Good grief! This woman is intelligent, but brain-washed on this subject! Hope I did a little good...

Thank you for the link. Very thought-provoking. Brings in many factors I had not fully considered.
