Dubya's comments about our "crusade" didn't do much to help dispel their beliefs about us being conquerors.

I hope you're right about this, but I'm not so sure. If it's true, it may have something to do with Barack HUSSEIN Obama's speech in Cairo.

Wouldn't "having 2 closely allied Shi'ite states on either side of the Persian Gulf" be bad for neo-libs too?

And no-one WANTS to nuke Iran. Well maybe Hillary! lol
Uh Pete, Saddam was a Sunni.

Answers to two different points Rob. Btw, where've you been lately? I've missed your biting wit!

I've been wanting to reply to the Heinlein comment. I agree that outside fictional worlds he's pretty thick, for sure. Heck even his fictional works are kinda twisted, I don't read him anymore

Finn, I believe it's the average US soldier, as they are doing the one on one contact. We should be very proud.
