17. I can't believe I'm dignifying this with a response, but...
I guess my response to you would be this:

Responsibility or lack thereof has little bearing on my desire that not another life be lost in Iraq nor on my belief that our best chance for making that a reality sooner rather than later lies in actively and aggressively fighting the "war" against this administration at home.

If you feel our soldiers are "responsible" for this horror, then I guess you should be wishing for their safe return and subsequent trial for crimes when they come home. And that's a completely different "debate" that I have zero desire to engage. But whether you feel they bear "responsibility" or not, the fact remains that we should want to bring them home and bring them home safely and now. The best way to do this is not to focus on the Iraqi resistance, but rather to focus on our own responsibility to resist this administration at home.

I don't want another dead American in Iraq - I don't want another dead person in Iraq. And I don't care who bears "responsibility" for what when it comes to my desire that their be no more lives lost in that place. I think that's a reasonable position.
