If you had taken the time to read the post I was replying to, you would have seen that I didn't say we held ourselves to a lower standard. I am saying that it is ridiculous to compare ourselves to Saddam Hussein and then say that we are better than him. It's like someone defending OJ Simpson by saying that hey, at least he didn't eat his victims like Jeffrey Dahmer.

It's an f'ing war, and our guys are getting killed every single day.

We have shown tremendous restraint, and continue to do so.

Shove your "we should hold ourselves to a higher standard" where the sun don't shine.

Where have I said that we hadn't? That's twice you missed the point I was making. Which is that it is ridiculous to compare ourselves to Saddam Hussein in order to claim some sort of moral high ground. I think we need to do better than that.

Wow, first, you call me Bozo, and now this. Apparently, you aren't able to discuss issues without personalizing them. Which is too bad. Free Republic gets dragged down by people like you who insult rather than attempt to enlighten. You don't have to agree with me or anyone here, but posting petty personal insults won't advance your viewpoint or gain you any support. If you want to make a point, try doing it without making it personal and see how much further you get.
