The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor. Please forward to all on your list as this will put things in perspective:
Liberals claim:
President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They
complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in US history. Let's clear up one point: We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11. Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953,
55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per year.
John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on!
The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but...
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.
We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!

Terrorists are revolting because of the hegemonious practices of the USA.
In their mind, we started it, by trying to wash out their culture with our corrupt and immoral culture.
Booze, sex, drugs, Christianity, treatment of women go against their beliefs.

They read the writings of LoonTzu....SunTzu's bi-polar relative who instead of riding away into the sunset on an ox, was actualy tied behind one and dragged to death.

Are you serious about this Foolie? I always thought it was pronounced "Sun Sue", and that is how I have heard it many times. Granted, that may very well be the Western version.....I would believe you any day (but Mondays....so please answer tonight!!). LOL!!!

Remember that Mandarin is a tonal speak... and so the translation to English doesn't always come across correctly.

Aren't you ever going to wipe that cum off you nose?

Noooooo. Terrorists are murdering because they hate anyone who isn't like them. In fact, it's not enough to convert to Muslim, you have to be Arab Muslim. Look what is happening in Rwanda where the Arab Muslims are committing genocide on the African Muslims.
At least, that's what was reported on George Stephanopolis's show today. I don't know what planet you get your info from.
Carter was the worst, you young'ns wouldn't remember. Clinton was just a jackass and a fuckup but no President in the past 40 years fucked things up as much as Carter.

Reagon #1.
HELLO, remember Reagan-omics?
I agree Carter was a total asswipe but I still have a 6 pack of "Billy Beer" that might be worth something one day [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
I've read some history and by far one of the most impressive people i've read about is in my opinion George Washington. His speaches are spectacular in clarity and full of content and vision for a young nation in need of strenght and wisdom.
