I take from your last remarks that a mere thought is pardonable, even though it may be a thought that a certain thing will happen and the thinker of that thought wishes for that thing to take place. After that thought which is some way not acted upon the one who thinks that way is pardonable because it was only a passing thought and therefore can be excused. He did after all say he thinks Saddam is bad (which all of the anti-war....anti-Americans say) but he wishes the American troops could have a harder time winning the war.
The most glarinfg difference in what you think and what I think is that I hold that person responsible for the blatant anti-American feelings he had just for the purpose to make G.W. Bush look bad.
