4. they don't want to have a clue.

there is a difference.

they are part of what's wrong. and they know it.

it's a way of acting the part of pilot -- they are washing their hands.

but they know{as long as people like you are around} it won't come off.

7. It won't end when we leave. We've made enough enemies that it will...

...go on for years, but it will go on on our soil rather than theirs. Our borders are as open as they can be, and plenty of people around the world now see us as enemies.

The answer, I think, is simple. Simply round up all the neocons and let them walk the streets of Bagdad on their own. Survivers get sent to the ICC in the Haque.

No casualties were immediately reported, but Associated Press Television News footage from the scene showed a Humvee, its hood open, consumed in flames.

Heavily armed U.S. soldiers closed off the area.

Police 1st Lt. Ali Hussein al-Hamadani said the blast was caused by a roadside bomb. A U.S. military spokesperson in Baghdad said she could not immediately confirm the attack.
