Hey, don't misunderstand me.

In September of 2001, I was all set to go out and burn a couple of mosques to the ground. But when they told me that my contribution to the "war on terror" would be to simply take off my shoes at the airport, bend over, and let them shove a probe up my @ss . . . well, I kinda figured there was a lot more to this than a "war on terror."

I'm afraid I'm still misunderstanding you. There's a lot more to the War on Terror than the inconvenience it's put you and me through. Neither of us like that, but I think I can assume that neither one of us would have liked to have been on the 97th floor of the World Trade Center one fateful September day.

This struggle is real and it's deadly and it's not over. So, either you'll have to do a better job than you've done on this thread so far, or my opinion of you will have changed radically.

When I read this latest screed, I wondered "where were you in April, you *&^%*&^" remembering Kristol's criticism of the president at the time. Did nothing but encourage the kind of viciousness he is currently criticizing Kerry for.

Trust me, after the election, Kristol will change his position...again.

"OMG! I have to take off my SHOES!!!! My feet might stink!" Well guess what; so might everyone elses. I'd rather be subjected to your stinky feet then to be run into a building.

Did you try to join the military? Volunteer for one of the private-sector jobs in Iraq? Donate money to help veterans' families? Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're in a tizzy because you weren't able to "burn a couple of mosques to the ground."
