Indeed. I've taken some heat here recently for some of my remarks, and when I see what others say, I wonder......

Okay, at the risk of seeming disrespectful, I'll ask about the decision to invade Iraq on the basis of WMD, while at the same time North Korea seemed to be just begging us to focus that attention on them. Does anyone remember that? They were absolutely taunting Dubya. But he knew who the more dangerous target was, as well as who had the most attractive natural resources. Brave Dubya elected to stay away from the dangers of challenging the bully on the playground (N Korea), and focused instead of the wimp in the corner (that would be Iraq) with the candy bars in his lunch pail (something about hydrocarbons).

We're going to pay for this in many ways. But first, we'll need to deal with the national security erosion-for-oil. Then the financial. Then the world scorn. Then the real dangers that will flourish in the meantime.

Now, perhaps someone will suggest I am being disrespectful while calling all democrats traitors and communists and gays.
