Who cares if your not amused, war is not for your amusement.  Kindly post your credentials as a military person, better yet please list your combat experience.  I can tell you are outraged by all  the death and destruction that is occurring in Fallujah and thats admirable.  However, you say such silly things.  Particularly your characterization of our troops.  "Most of these soldiers are not old enough to control and stabilise their character. Their education is limited to Fox and some few years no-show at school. How are they supposed to understand or digest what they are doing there. !" I suppose you have conducted studies to arrive at that conclusion.  Prounouncements like the one you stated above are truly a joke.  Perhaps its your youth that makes you so naive.

"Don't cry for me Argentina".......

Democrats should listen to this man and as I have said before, move their party to the middle where most of America is . Â Drop the radical left, they will just guarantee further defeats.

Whoooaaaa hey there, yeah those "evil" Republicans how could I forget On the other hand...he had been FIRED from the DSCC. I guess we'll just have to wait for investigation to conclude.

"Post-election selection trauma" now I've heard it all. Â I wonder if that will be added to the DSM-IV Â I'd love to cover this "disorder" in class.

INTEGRITY...with staffers like this, its no wonder the Democrats lost their election bid. Â The DSCC...great organization!

Can you say V A L U E S?

Kindly, drop the personal attacks. If you cant have a civil discussion, perhaps you need to take a break.

No paradox, communist and socialist ideas are the foundation of the poltically correct movement. Exactly WTF??? You are trying to say what exactly.

Just in..... Leftwing nut takes woman hostage at gunpoint in front of the Mexican consulate in L.A. to protest Bush's re-election. Channel 9 local news. Los Angeles Nope, no need for fear and paranoia....

Advancing socialism in the U.S. is advocating for the destruction of the American way of life. Perhaps not you, but other leftists if indeed you are a leftist, perhaps just another misguided American.

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, my comment was to address the issue of voting for Bush not the bombing of Dresden.

AKIRA Thats a case of the pot calling the kettle black. It's un-American in the extreme to subvert or work towards destroying the American way of life (capitalism, individualism). Being a leftist you would only consider that line of thought reactionary. The fear and paranoia was mostly in the minds of leftists were it should be if they live in the U.S. But in any event, we live in a society which is in fear now of saying the wrong thing, writing the wrong thing. The Liberal thought police prowls our system applying santions and labels such as bigot, rascist, facsist, intolerant, culturaly insensitive, gun nut, imperialist and religious fanatic any and all who dont tow the Politically correct line. I think I'll take my chances with the bible thumpers, thank you very much.

Ezei Its in very poor taste to take credit for something you had no part in.  No, still very relevant, particularly now in the U.S.  The sense of history is being rewritten and sanitized by leftists, hardly something would give me any kind of sense..commissar DenoirQuote  Ah, the "If someone doesn't agree with leftist views" call him a Nazi argument.  No it's the "If somebody wants to ban certain political parties and ban free speech, call him a Nazi" argument. Yes, if they advocate the overthrow of the U.S. government.  Leftists are particularly dangerous because they subvert before they revolt. Good for you, unfortunately your country is nothing like our country and to think that it would work here would ignore many things. Beg to differ, the only problem is that it didn't go on longer.  Look at the state of affairs in the U.S. now, where half of the country wants to apologize for being Americans.  Talk about outdated, the other day I heard the (old) new leftists cries at a war protest rally "American Imperialists, Facsists, along with charges of "oligarchy", 'patriarchal standards etc. ad naseum.   Kind of reminded me of the protests in third world latin American countries that went on in the sixties and still today, you know "imperialist yankees, go home".  That's amusing. Batista bad, but better than Castro. Please enlighten me, which ones are you referring to.  There are quite a few.

It's very telling that you cannot discern a difference between them in your country. Â That's exactly what I would like to prevent from happening in the U.S. Don't worry we will!

Call me old-fashioned. Â Point taken, but have reservations characterizing the systems as "works very well". Â You could also have mentioned Canada and their system is starting to show cracks. Â Additionally, there are many differences between the U.S. and European countries that "may" make that system seem like it works well. Ah, the "If someone doesn't agree with leftist views" call him a Nazi argument. Hmmm, It would have been more appropriate to say that I might have like the U.S. around the 1950's. To which I would have responded, "just the anti-communist sentiment of that time ". Of course my viewpoint may be colored by the fact that two generations of my family have fought communists in South America. But what do I know?

The check is in the mail! I'll support it if you cut me in for half!

Oh don't get me wrong, I value "progressive" as in responsible, accountable, demonstrable constructive policy reform. Not some leftist policy wonks fantasy experiments. Personal anecdote: I attended an American history class which covered among other things the Lewis and Clark expedition. The way my teacher (feminist) taught it, the chapter should have been renamed the Sacagewa Expedition. Very little concerning Lewis and Clark, a lot about Sacagewa's (indian woman) essential role wth emphasis on her hardiness and ability to withstand the trials the men did. My question was, good for her and so what? Lets find out about the Lewis and Clark expedition.... Additionally, she refused to cover WWI, WWII or ANY war for that matter because she "didn't believe that war solves anything". That sure seems like enlightened liberal thought to me, how about you?

Most Americans don't understand that the struggle is not Secularist vs. Religionist, that is only one facet. The real struggle is between the socialist left and the capitalist right. I for one don't agree that communist and socialist speech should be protected. In fact is should be banned in the U.S.A. Can you say New McCarthyism. If only the Republicans could understand that but they wont.

Pet American liberal projects: Social promotion in education: failing doesn't neccesarily mean you don't go on to the next grade level. Your parents can decide to "pass" you anyway. So much for standards. Selective gender identity in education: Children grades K-12 can choose their sexual identity. If you feel more like a girl, you can go to the girls restroom among other things. African -American slave reparations: Pay out millions of dollars to African Americans because they were brought to the U.S. as slaves. Muli-lingual curriculum in public schools: Spend millions of taxpayer funds to teach public school curriculum in Spanish to a largely illegal immigrant children. Thought police: Supplement or get rid of religion based moral standards and substitute socialist driven models of behavior. Just as the bible thumpers are trying to get rid of violent media or unacceptable (to them) popular culture, our oh so enlightened liberals are doing the same thing. Evidence recent Democrats on political talk shows that want to address the "moral values gap" by cracking down on violent video games, music and movies. Different group, same shite! Just to name a few....not too mention that radical liberalism fosters effeteness in our society, something I absolutely believe is dangerous to our nation. Evidence anti-nationalist forces in America not to mention the rise of the American apologist.

The misguided are on the move again.... You would think that after the resounding spanking the Democrats got they would figure out what went wrong, but nooooooo. Instead of listening to the wiser among them (and theres not many ) they are drifting even more leftwards. Reverend Jesse Jackson (paragon of liberal thought) suggested that the problem with the Democratic party was that it needed to embrace an even larger liberal vision if it wished to overcome minority party status. What a moron! Others such as that sterling example of integrity and personal responsibility, Al Sharpton think they need to keep the same value system but "repackage" it to sell to middle America. In other words deceiving America into accepting their twisted values. They just don't get it, most Americans are moderates and are never (unless they are lied to) going to be on board with the radical left (radical feminists, radical gay lobby, PETA, eco-terrorists, socialists etc). Saying that, most Americans don't share extreme right wing views either. Here's some advice for the Democratic party, drop the fringe groups or at least take away their mikes. Let them join the Greens if they don't like it. Come back to the Center where most Americans are at anyway.

"Moderate" Islamists speak out from the U.S's closest "ally" in the mideast.

AKIRA NO they are not all terrorists and I am just as emotionally distraught as you seem to be over the deaths of Iraqi children and other innocents. But they need to shed the insurgents and join the political process if they ever hope to achieve peace. A very astute Muqtada Al-Sadr is attempting this.

Acecombat Perhaps he should have done that throughout his campaign, he would have had a better chance.

Frisbee I am sure a guided bomb is not the preferred method in all cases but some. Consider the thousands of residential raids that occur and have occurred. But in areas such as Fallujah, where this is not possible with other than an all out ground assault and in other circumstances where terrorists would be alerted to the raid by leak or sympathetic environment a guided bomb is in the tool box. You could also ask, why wouldn't those Iraqis that live around the insurgents or know of their whereabouts inform the Iraqi authorities or police them up themselves. Unless of course they are actively supporting them against their own government.
