Do you seriously believe that we are hunting down and "eliminating" all of the big terrorists, and that all of the millions of others in this ideological struggle will just decide that the U.S., George Bush, and Russia are the new warlords to be respected?? Do you really believe this? Tell me that it isn't so.

Putin's "methods" will have the same wonderful results that Israel's have had in "eliminating terrorism", and not incidentally make him the world's biggest terrorist, which is always a wonderful thing when trying to influence the minds of a huge population that considers the "ends justify the means" when dealing w/ (their perception of) pure evil.

It is also ironic that you mention Abu Ghraib w/o so much as the faintest clue that it did more to make us unsafe than all of the stupid moves of the past several years. If you are a true indication of the density of the Republican/right-wing/AM radio mindset, all I can say is that you are a serious danger to peace.

Isn't it funny that the truly clueless are always the ones to attack another's education or intelligence? Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the argument was a bit above your head? Doth the emperor wear no clothes? Why else would he need the "talking points" and name calling to make his point? Whatever it is....
