Teehee.. I knew someone would at least disagree.. But the subject was brought up here (at least in the link) so that's why I replied in this topic. Thanks for not ranting though [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I respect your post Link, except the above-quoted part. I'd like to say some things, and hope this thread doesn't get kicked over to the War Forum, which I think you ought visit.

1. Calling Bush an Osama or, more especially, the US a terrorist state is as insulting to me as an American as calling me a F*er or calling a modern-day German a Nazi. In the post-9/11 era it is simply mean. Terrorist states target civilians and attempt to cause terror in the civilian population. The US is overly-nice when it comes to attempting to avoid such collateral damage, as it is unpopular with many of its citizens. And, the US does not target civilians directly. Go cite Hiroshima if you want, but I live in this century.

2. As with George Washington's beliefs, I am glad to live in a country where the government puts US interests first and where we make no permanent alliances or enemies that could hinder our future foreign relations needs. Foreign relations exist FOR me and other Americans, not for some other country.

3. You mention alturism. I think the End of Aids in Africa proposal by Bush last night was a fine example of the hundreds upon hundreds of organizations funded by the government for worldwide alturism. And we pay all of the UN's bills. And we basically are the World Bank. And, and, and. Give, give, give. We do. My taxe dollars feed mine victims in South Korea just as surely as they feed crack whores in Philly.

[edit]
3A. Just so you know, this guy Trafalgar has at least 3 different identities on that site, and often conducts conversations with himself just to stir up crap. He's a troll of the worst kind.
[end edit]

4. I STILL NEED HELP!!!! I can't edit a post on the afore-mentioned and linked forum, so I need to know how to use html to link the pic, which I have no put over at Ranchoweb. Bueller? Bueller?

Should I reply now, or wait until we're kicked over to the War Forum. Admittedly, I didn't even know that there even was one, before Attalus mentioned it. Damn! I've been away faaar too long!

Actually the br tag is for a line break. A paragraph would be < p >, without the spaces of course.
