I am honestly curious what these people think getting out of Iraq or doing something different would actually do. For example, what in the world could a former CIA analyst or a Michael Moore really think in his or her comfortable home here in the States about the discovery of a dismembered and disemboweled woman with a disfigured face that just happens to have long blonde hair and has been deemed Western? Or the now numerous beheadings? Do these people really think that negotiations or payoffs or appeasement will change terrorists' opinions one iota?
It's as though nay-sayers are not only not with the program, they don't have the program or can't read it, or they are living in Disney World somewhere between the France and Germany buildings. This is a truly frightening prospect. How in the world could I expect them to defend my back when everything they say--and do--indicates otherwise?
Not only do I not understand their thinking, I am to the point of not wanting to anymore. If they want to move, in the spirit of Scroose, let them decrease the population and do so, and quickly, so I can prepare to defend myself if necessary.
Oops. Scrooge. Sorry.
