Inspections were given a chance for more than 10 years. How much of a chance
did you want? Meanwhile, Hussein was murdering millions of his own people,
financing terrorist attacks all over the world, and continuing to threaten
his neighbors. I wonder how many people had to die before you thought action
was necessary?
So you have felt sorrow for the Iraqi people. It seems you have a bigger
place in your heart and mind for them then your own fellow americans who's
views oppose yours. Unfortunately most (all ?) oil rich nations have the
same problems. Despots.
However, my point stands. I find the constant anti-Bush, anti-American, off
topic postings from you, Hotze, Dighera and others to be every bit as vile
as you think my postings are. I don't think Hotze in particular has ever
posted on topic. You might want to think about that before you threaten to
plonk people that you consider to be "contemptuous, arrogant, and hateful."
Anyone resorting to labeling fellow americans anti-american when those
fellow americans have opposing views is certainly irony in its purest
form. America is about dissent and opposing views and the right to express
those views. It's not about having special areas cordoned off for Bush
supporters while any Bush opposition is banned to some distant, off-camera
corner.
Or even rich.
Of course he was pointing out the fact that the Bush bandwagon gathers those
scared souls who are worried about their pots of money. Huddling around
a pot of money as we are marched into a dangerous future seems empty to me.
I did not start this thread. I did not post on it until the thread had been
running for several days. If I am offensive, it is deliberately so -- you
deserve it. If polite people remain silent while you keep up your constant
stream of poison, it is not because they agree with you. I am old and no
longer have any reason to be ashamed over anything. Somebody has to stand up
to hateful bullies like you. Whether you plonk me or not, I will continue to
do so.
I've had a chance to read some of your postings and it seems to me that you
need a fresh perspective on who's hateful. I find your posts to be filled
with exactly the things you are accusing the poster for. The tone and
quantity of your postings clearly paints a mean picutre. But I am willing
to accept your views and know that it's healthy to be able to understand
opposition. Usenet is about discourse. And I hope we always will have it
available to us.
