I think there should be a thread to discuss this subject (within reason). We are seeing our lives and families lives being destroyed without any support from the government required to protect us. (Or, has one been opened?)

What has happened to Sandy Berger? Our national security on the block! I held a high level clearence to be at a famous lakebed in NV. Do his actions nullify my agreement with the government. He knows better; the Bush administration knows better. Again, sad, sad, sad....

Particularly in the European press, Saddam attracted countless apologists and was presented as a rational, if harsh, ruler.

That's what always blows me away about the Europeans: they make excuses for a brutal dictator like Saddam Hussein and then cry bloody murder and insist that Bush is Hitler.

Frickin' appeasenik morons.
