You have no idea what we're fighting with over there. You're the ignorant one.

They aren't going to like us anymore or less if Bush grovels or explains or anything. They'll see it as weakness, and it will embolden them.

I know what we're fighting. I also know that I'm fighting idiots who think that keeping rapists as prison guards is a good idea.

Good. Let 'em come, they're easier to kill that way.

Absolutely irrelevent! It's not about being liked. That fact does not preclude us from doing the right thing and it looks to me as if President Bush chose to do it this morning.

As a country it's imparative that we take the moral high ground and part of that means doing the right thing regardless of how anyone else perceives it or reacts to it. I couldn't give a rat's hindend about who likes us more as a result.
