Finding a "fix" to get a war

[yarimurray]

You "liberals" watch so much CNN that you actually start to believe your own bullcrap.

Being liberal (which I'm not), conservative, or moderate has nothing to do with discussion of facts. (Not beliefs, rumours, or wishes.) I have merely been trying to point out that these problems are very complex and not easily solved by simply attacking without planning and thinking through the objective of the attack. I've never said we should never attack (anyone heard of Kadafi (sp) lately?).

Maybe the liberals should separate themselves from the right thinking population

It's amazing to me how we've become a nation of name callers. If anyone disagrees with the status quo they are called liberal scum (or cold conservative). This name calling does nothing to solve the problems and only serves to muddy up the discussion until the issues become more blurred and more complicated.

How about a little respect for the nation you live in? How about a little respect for the soldiers who protect you and others with their lives?

And one more thing. I've never intimated that I do not support our troops. I have family members in Iraq (also in the first Gulf War) and I support them 100%. Questioning our government is one of the most patriotic acts a citizen can take and exactly the right and responsibility that military personnel have been fighting for since our country was born.

People obviously have a lot of passion about these issues. And so they should. However, passion should not overtake reason and balanced discussion of all sides of issues. Saddam and others have had ways to silence their citizens when they disagreed with policy. Hopefully we are above that.
