In the case of this great nation, you BET I mean compassion. Compassion isn't sitting on your arse pontificating on the horrors of war, COMPASSION is getting off your arse and doing something actually compassionate.
And if you think for one sick second that what our COURAGEOUS military isn't compassionate, then you, too, are undereducated, lacking in knowledge of what is going on there RIGHT NOW because of our nation's great capacity to respect the GOD GIVEN right of every human being to be free.
And of COURSE we cannot go maurauding into every nation that suffers an evil tyrant at its helm, but THANK GOD Saddam has provided the justification for going after his vile self, and while you are at it, THANK OUR FATHER in HEAVEN that you are so blessed to live in this nation where people just like you and me, suffered and bled and DIED so that you could pontificate your viewpoint.
Just like moi.
