Remember that most here despise Burkeman1. He is nothing but a liberal who calls himself a "real" conservative. No surpise he is from Assachusetts. Your brother is a better man than that wimpy turd could ever hope to be.
I have no doubts about that -- the guy's a complete moron if he thinks what is going on in Iraq has nothing to do with him. Maybe he's rather have the war going on in and around HIS home!! LOL!!! Whew -- BP just went up re-reading some of this!!!
