This country became permanently divided during the Clinton administration, there are two entirely different major views (as well a a number of lesser ones) about what this country is and what is best for it. Whether as a result of Clinton's tenure, or just that he was in office during the the period that it happened (the division), or both, I don't know. But the division is permanent and irreconcilable.

It's tragic to be sure, but look on the bright side: our red zones have most of the guns and all the military bases.

All the blue zones can muster is harsh language. ;)

"Enough" will come when enough of the islamo-fasist have been killed that the rest of Iraq will be able to conduct their daily affairs without fear of being killed, arrested, or harmed.

By that standard, a LOT more blood needs to be shed in Iraq.

Good post, well stated. We are part of the DOMESTIC COALITION, fighting DOMESTIC ENEMIES. Fortunately, at this time, we can still vote them out of office.

We are "in this mess" because our true reason for being in Iraq was, and still is, politically impossible to admit.


We ~had to have~ a permanent military base in the middle east, and Iraq was the obvious choice. -- And we will stay in Iraq until the Middle East crisis is resolved, regardless of the 'party' in power in DC. -- Bet on it.
Right now the crats are making political hay by loudly opposing the Bush policies. -- If elected, their tune will change, some new 'crisis' will emerge and they will change their policy, and find that we must keep our bases in Iraq.. --- Nothing will change but the talking points on why we are there.

We are in the middle east to supposedly prevent a WWIII..
Lets hope the strategy works.

a yes the leftist side of view is definitely the sinister side. The alphabets; and with the exception of fox, the cable networks are the sinister press.

Somebody say prophecy??? I love prophecy.

Just got a new book on it.

The Muslims, along with the Russians, will invade into Europe. England and France will be nearly completely destroyed.

Fascinating reading.

Clinton allowed Bin Laden the freedom to use his billions grow a massive terror structure that may cost us a trillion to defeat.
Laden declared war on us and when Clinton had in hand he let him go to kill Lord knows how many tens or hundreds of thousands of innocents around the whole world.

Carter then has the nerve to come out and open up his pathetic stupid pie hole. For heaven's sake, he had no gonads to handle terrorists in Iran and he had hostages held all his administration. This is the last F'ing loser that should ever open his mouth about anything. Carter is an idiot and Clinton was the worst President ever.

I am starting to believe that John Edwards is right...there are two Americas. However, there is a conservative America and liberal America. It comes down to core beliefs and the stark difference between relativism on one side and foundational truths on the other will continue to severely fracture this country until something changes.

I, along with many others, thought 9/11 might be the catalyst for bringing it together. However, there are forces, both foreign and domestic seeking to permanently fracture this country.

It is sad. With the media's help, it almost feels overwhelming. HOWEVER, this doesn't mean with lay in the fetal position and give up. This means we MUST, NOW NOT LATER, stand up, make our voices heard, and GET INVOLVED in the fight for this country. THE TIME IS NOW!
