...held up a sign declaring "Pre-emptive strikes are murder," with several skulls perched beneath the crimson words.

Laura Ingraham yesterday read part of a column--don't remember the writer--that said that what HAS been "murder" for Iraq has been twelve years of "containment", which is what the insincere Left in this country says we ought to continue.

The point was that during the Gulf war about 30,000 Iraqis lost their lives, and the great majority of them were combatants, with only a few real civilian casualties.

In contrast, during the ensuing 12 years of "containment" about that same number of Iraqis has died each year, from malnutrition or lack of medical care, and the great majority of them have been children and the elderly!

In other words, every single year represents another "Gulf War" worth of deaths for the Iraqis, except that the weakest are the victims.

THE MOST HUMANE THING to do would be to go in, destroy Saddam's regime and end the containment debacle once and for all.

These people don't care about Iraq, and they don't care about the loss of life. They care ONLY about their hatred of Pres. Bush and of conservatives.

This is the legacy of their failure to steal the election in 2000.

My daughter is engaged to a socialist from England. She sent me some anti war crap email and I responded. Seems he took issue with me saying England sat idly by and allowed Hitler to take over most of Europe. She tole me he was angry because "my version" of WWII was wrong. He said the British joined the war against Hitler after he invaded Poland. That's right, I said, After HE INVADED POLAND. She then told me "100's of thousands of British soldiers died" fighting Hitler before the US got into the war. First of all "100's of thousands" of British soldiers didn't die during the whole damn war. My point is these left wing idiots have no idea what they're talking about. And in her little email, at the end, she had to mention that Bush is a bully. They're all ignorant and simply spout what they hear on CNN. She didn't respond when I asked her why she didn't protest when Clinton was bombing the crap out of people. By the way, my daughter was raised by her liberal mother.

It sure is hard to "like" these people even whey they're family.
