When hectored by a former archbishop of Canterbury on this subject recently, he said: "We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last 100 years . . . and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in."

I am at once teared up over the beauty of that statement and blind with rage over those who are so stupid as to put us all in danger because they can't comprehend it.

I wonder if Fred Barnes wrote the same article 12 years ago when he was editor for the New Republic.

one more point on the war for oil angle. If it was about oil, why didn't we just take the oilfields in 1991? Hell, there was no one around to stop us.

If I hear a dim say one more time we shouldn't go it alone, what's left of my brain will freeze

(12) The U.N. inspectors need more time. According to the terms of the ceasefire, as agreed upon by the United Nations Security Council, Saddam needed to FULLY comply, produce his weapons of mass destruction, and destroy them as the inspectors observed. The inspectors are NOT detectives - it is not their job to root out every last vial of anthrax or chemical weapon-equipped missile warhead. It is their job to OBSERVE Saddam openly destroy ALL of the banned weapons. The inspectors, when even allowed into Iraq by Saddam, have spent 12 years playing a game of cat and mouse/hide and seek with Saddam. Obviously, inspections have not worked for over a decade, why would they work now? The definition of mental illness is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results. It is insanity to continue this charade - this game - and expect that Saddam will stop producing WMD to use against us and our allies.

Don't get too upset about the unwashed malcontents getting riled up by the marxist Workers World Party to wale and stomp and throw temper tantrums in our streets. On their best day they may have brought out 200k nationwide - however 299,800,000 Americans didn't participate that day. Interest is waning, their crap is old and tired. Don't let them bother you - they're not worth it.
