Re: "This is what we are talking about. A Maine Guardsman heads off to war. Take a look at his daughter..."

I'm looking at that picture on the front page of this Morning's Portland Press Herald as we speak (so to speak), Amigo.

Now if this same American Warrior comes back home by the Grace of God when the bugles of War at last sound the "Recall" (I wish they still litteraly did that, by the way)and this precious little Princess does not want his hugs, kisses, or anything to do with him because "Teacher" taught her that Daddy is a mean, evil, bloodthirsty bully by going to kill poor innocent Iraqi children in a bad, illeagal war so that greedy American Capitalists could get the oil and get even richer than they already are for a mean, evil, illegitimate President who nobody really likes anyway...

(Man; I sure do run out my sentences when I'm pi$$ed off!)

...Then I'm afraid that I cannot guarentee (spelling goes to Chicago, too) the health, serenity, or well-being of said "Teacher" for very long at all.

And you know what?; Honestly, if it ever comes to that, I'm afraid that I would feel a whole lot more sympathy for that broken hearted Soldier and his shattered Family than I would for whatever remnants might be recovered of Komrade "Teacher".
As much as I deplore violence as a means of conflict resolution, if it ever comes to that, I frankly would have to blow my nose a couple of times on that white flag of mine and think it over real hard before jumping out of my trench waving it for cooler heads and hearts to prevail, as I think I have tried to do here this time.

So hey; MEA (I know you're in here):

PLEASE!!!; DO NOT EVER LET IT COME TO THAT!!!

Jeezus; Get a clue for Christ's Sake!

Amen.
