Peach,
I'm not happy about my "conclusion". I get no "joy" from suggesting we are screwing up this specific situation.
I'm posting these comments because I'm scared to death of what a Kerry Presidency will mean, not just concerning the War on Terror, but domestic issues as well.
Kerry will be a disaster on so many levels its hard to catalog them all in one post, or even one day.
There is only one way to deal with religious fanatics that have come to the conclusion all that differ in beliefs must be purged from the earth. You cannot "negotiate" with them, doesn't matter if its a wacko fundementalist in the Middle East of the Muslim belief, or a wacko fundementalist in the Mid West of Christian belief.
When either go so far around the bend they believe God has told em "Kill the infidels, kill the non believers" you only have one option left.
It isn't "talking" btw.
I know you don't. And I agree with many of your points, probably most of your points.
