<DIV>Nick,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Referring to your sources as left wing was "name calling"? I thought
it was an accurate characterization, with the possible exception of The New
Republic. The A.P. has been a reliable mouthpiece for the left for decades
with snotty "analysis" masquerading as news. Look, Nick, I've been called
every conceivable name in the book over the years by liberals, including
"Nazi". All because I dared to stand up to them. As I pointed out in
my first post here, liberals are only tolerant as long as you agree with
them. Their love of "diversity" does not include a diversity of political
views. My experience so far on this forum has only reinforced that
conclusion. As far as calling you Anti American, it never happened.
Reread the post, it specifically referred to your SOURCES.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You scold that I still haven't responded to this and that statement of
yours. But you respond to only about half of the points I make. So
what? We have limited time, we respond to what particularly interests us
or catches our eye. This isn't the classroom where the professor puts all
his notes on the board while his students dutifully absorb it and
regurgitate it back on demand.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You say Bush has done more to destroy America's reputation than ANY
AMERICAN you know. We are still recovering from eight years as the
laughingstock of the world thanks to Bill Clinton. He confirmed the
impression many foreigners have of Americans as vulgar hedonists.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You say that under Saddam Iraq was sophisticated. Tell it to the tens
of thousands of his fellow countrymen moldering in mass graves. Tell it to
the tens of thousands of woman abused and subjugated under his rule.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You say we are going to return Iraq to the dark ages. You must be
referring to free elections, democracy, the free flow of ideas and
information? I am sure terrorists the world over would be overjoyed if we
summarily withdrew from Iraq. That is why prudence dictates that we
maintain some level of presence there for the foreseeable future.</DIV>
