That Cheney profits from his benefits package is not a problem for me, and I CERTAINLY do not think it had anything to do with this war.

So big business, particularly big oil, is the most experienced and well-equipped entity at makin money off the blood of our troops? What a disturbin philosophy ya have there, Vix! I've got a better idea...how about we leave that unpleasant task to a responsible elected leadership who's actions and decisions are predicated on the U.S. Constitution, who'd as soon put
their own children in harms way as
ours? Ya say the greatest qualification for leadership here in the U.S. of A. is being wealthy and used to gettin your way? I could'nt possibly disagree more with that assertion, as that is
exactly what's wrong with our government...its composed largely of priviledged cretins who have absolutely
nothin in common with everyday Americans and who just happened to be born into wealth and believe that entitles em to govern! I believe the word for that is
feudalism, AKA "The Golden Rule" (He who has the gold makes the rules). Ya better believe the American Presidency is up for sale to the highest bidder...how the hell else could a guy like "W" ever end up in the Oval Office? Last I checked, the Dynamic Duo aint exactly scandal proof, no sir...Junior and Big Dick are most definity
not beyond reproach! Vix, maybe you'd like to donate some of your hard earned cash to em so they can buy themselves some Teflon suits? Hell, they've already helped themselves to the contents of our wallets. Good thing you're
ok with that!

But you're quite correct about the aim of radical Islam...they want to either convert us or kill us.
Nobody is safe from em, not even their less enthusiastic brethren. Where-ever radical Islam is found there is butchery and conflict...its a cancer that
must be eradicated if there's ever to be any peace, if any of us are to be safe and secure. But the way we're goin about it aint cuttin the mustard. History has shown time and again that military occupations
rarely work and almost
always end badly. How much of
our money has Bush/Cheney spent occupyin Iraq so far? How many zeros is that? Think throwin
more of
our money at it is gonna solve
their problem? How many dead and maimed young Americans are we up to now? Think the answer is to send
more troops? Think it over.
