Run In With Mr. Edwards

State's Rights and free trade are subjugated during wartime -- and
always
have been. Don't worry -- they'll be back again, after this one is
over.

Ever the optimist.

How will we know when this "war" is over? When some future president
playing boy soldier tells us it is?

Perhaps the ketchup king has a "secret plan" to win the hearts and minds of
the people who are trying to kill us...? (I keep waiting to hear what that
plan is, but, alas, all Mr. Kerry seems to do is mention "bringing the
international community" into the conflict -- and then he changes the
subject back to his war record...)

If I were him, I'd let Edwards unleash the product liability lawyers onto
the newly freed (and unsuspecting) public in Iraq. That would bring the
terrorists to their knees in a matter of months!

Jay,

newly freed public in Iraq


If your world has a freed public in Iraq, it is certainly very
different from mine.

Don't read the papers much, eh?

There's this thing called "democracy" growing over there. Give it time --
it might catch.

Oh yeah, I remember reading about it. A place called Abu Graib seems to be a
true stronghold of democracy in Iraq.

What drivel. Do you judge California's democratic "progress" by what
happened to Rodney King?

In a country of 25 million people, and an Army of 150,000, stupid stuff
happens. Abu Graib was an anomaly, a bump in the road to democratic rule,
and the perps are going to jail.

Which is more than you can say was happening in that same prison under
Sadaam's rule.

Jay,

happened to Rodney King?

Partly, yes, of course!

This is NOT "stupid stuff". This is a mind set through all ranks. It is a
general view on the Geneva convention and its worth held

Which is more than you can say was happening in that same prison under
Sadaam's rule.

Oh yeah?

Making a comparison with what Sadaams lot used to do is fatuous.

The issue is comparing actual American behavior there with the ideal that
the US is promoting.

Saying that the US brutalises Iraqis less harshly than Sadaam is hardly a
glowing recommendation.

think about it it.

so, you know the people in all ranks well enough to know their mind set?

do you know even one?

What???!!!

Snide Answer #1: Yea, we could use some democracy over here...seeing
as how our current President was not chosen democratically.

Snide Answer #2: Oh, you want other countries to have armed militias
and mobs running around blowing up anything that moves?

More than 95% of the Iraqi countryside is enjoying freedom right now.
The only parts you hear about on the news is the bad parts.
