No, survival is based on cold reasoning

No it isn't. That's why you have emotions like fear and anger. Fight or flight. They are there for a reason. And if anything, apologizing fits into the feel good category.

I've seen more attacks on the people who are fighting this war.

And that's why I stand behind our troops. I support this war and Pres. Bush. I think this is a bad decision.

Have you even seen the interviews? I just watched them on FOX. They were great. If you go back and read this thread, there were attacks on what he was doing before the interviews were even aired. The assumption that Bush was going to weaken us, instead of strenghten us, was overwhelming.

Anger is definitely a survival technique and fear has it's place, but reined in focused anger and tamped down fear is the only way we will survive. Shooting our guns without the enemy in site is just plain stupid.
