Thank you for the comments. I agree with much of what you posted. Read my #15 reply and see if that lets you know where I'm coming from.
You have a definite point, but I was responding more to the hand-wringing of the article with the obvious anti-Bush tone motivating it. I really do think our energies for the next 2 weeks need to be more directed toward winning the election, and we can push harder for more military bucks/soldiers, etc. after Bush wins. Kerry would be such a total disaster.
