    Divided nation ? I wonder why ? Your nation like any nation will pull together where such war/conflict is JUST and not contrived which will cause some degree of fragmented public support.

      Isn't that a Hanging Offence? The "left" that you appear to hate so much, why not round them all up (just like the Nazi's used to) and put them all in-front of Firing Squads, and then you (yes Stan) can be the first to squeeze the trigger - that is if you have the "metal". Then there would be no "left" for you to worry about, but then, I suspect you would find something else that troubles you. Sorry Stan, I am not having a go, it is just the way (attitude) some of you Americans appear to have.

      The political principles of the left represent the single greatest threat to the American way of life, as it has always existed, that we have ever been confronted with. The goal is to turn us into a European social welfare state consisting primarily of hundreds of millions of poor hispanics. The threat is very real and represents in every way a growing and serious emergency if we are to maintain any semblance of what it has always meant to be an American.

          Bullshit. Hope is the single greatest resource which sustains any type of military confrontation involving a weak military power against a stronger one. These people derive hope from the constant negative, anti-Bush, purely politically motivated, drumbeat from the left, the democrats and their vast propaganda arm (the mainstream media,hollywood, and educational institutions). I never thought that we should have ever invaded IRaq for the purpose of trying to establish a western style democracy. However, in every other way it was a perfectly legitimate, justified decision for a US president to commit our military resources to. In no way was it a 'mistake' to invade. It was a mistake for us to, again, underestimate the power and motivation of the left in the US to undermine their nation's ability to promote its values and interests around the world as they have done consistantly since the Great depression.

Like the other members of the clueless right, you just can't grasp that Iraq has a different culture. The influence that the US left has on Iraqis is approximately zero. And don't imagine that the right was going to remain enthusiatic about this war indefinitely. It is not only the left that takes a dim view of exercises in futility. The only thing that distinguishes the left from the right is that the left figured out what a dumb idea the Iraq war was earlier than the people on the right.

Your hopeful fantasy that you can blame it on the left is not going to be fulfilled. This is George Bush's war, for good or for ill. My judgement on Iraq will not concern you or him.

            Could it be that this may be the first time that any foreign power (including terrorist activities) have caused harm on Mainland USA and your fellow countrymen were justly outraged. Also, (being contentious) Afganistan was a problem prior to 9/11, where USA supported the Mujahidin factions against the Soviet Union's war in Afganistan. The Mujahidin factions split which, in a manner of speak, enabled the foundation of the Taliban and their later association with Al Queda. I wonder what went wrong with American Foreign Policy after Soviet withdrawal from Afganistan ?

                  Stan, You can't be serious. Is this really what people think in the United States of America ? Or is it a "Stan" drum-beating obsession What do the people from the "left" in the USA actually think ? Would anybody from the "left" care to voice opinions !

                    Questioning the government isn't the issue. The issue is purposefully taking actions which undermine the governement's legitimate authority for purely political reasons. Since 9/11, the left in this country has completely exposed itself as being so vehemently opposed to the political principles of the right that it will take what ever measures necessary to defeat them regardless of how extreme or treasonous. The principles which divide the left and right in our society have simply become too extreme to manage democratically. In fact, we are already fighting a Civil War between one another. We are simply doing it through proxies around the world. "You get that which you tolerate"

                                      If we're referring to the Kennedys, it's called "Camelot".

                                        Stan, You can't be serious. Is this really what people think in the United States of America ? Or is it a "Stan" drum-beating obsession What do the people from the "left" in the USA actually think ? Would anybody from the "left" care to voice opinions !

                                        I admit to presenting an extreme perspective on the issues. But how anyone can look at the politcal situation as it exists and come away with any other significant alternative explanation is beyond me. I see no attempt by the left to even pretend to disquise their agenda. Hell, they are shouting it from the roof tops. There is no doubt that the differnces currently dividing us politcally are far more extreme than those that actually caused our first Civil War. The motives of we 'conservatives' (actually the true liberals in this situation) are always dismissed as 'racist' or christian extremism, or Bush inspired propaganda or whatever. There is simply no indication of any kind of a willingness of those on the left to find a happy middle ground politically. A growing number of us on the right have simply had enough of this shit. We are tired of the insanity of the left, we are tired of finding every true principle of American civilization marginazliaed and disrespected. We are simply tired of the arrogance and ignorance of the left and their obsequious infatuation with all things European. "You get that which you tolerate"
