My LTTE re: London Bombings
I just sent this to the San Antonio Express-News in response (sort of) to the latest column by this guy:

http://www.mysanantonio.com/opinion/columnists/jgurwitz/stories/MYSA071005.3H.subgurwitz.479fa82d.html

my letter:

In all the media reports counting the casualties in the London bombings, one has yet to be reported: the death of the "We must fight them there so we don't have to fight them here" rationale for invading a country that had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism.

If the US and Great Britain had kept focus on Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan instead of cooking up lies to invade Iraq for its oil, it is quite possible that the criminals responsible for Thursday's tragedy would either be dead or behind bars, and the 50 or more people who died would be at home safe with their families.

3. It's a zombie rationale! You can't kill it!
Bush's radio address, 9th July:

We are now waging a global war on terror -- from the mountains of Afghanistan to the border regions of Pakistan, to the Horn of Africa, to the islands of the Philippines, to the plains of Iraq. We will stay on the offense, fighting the terrorists abroad so we do not have to face them at home. We will continue to deny the terrorists safe haven and the support of rogue states. And at the same time, we will spread the universal values of hope and freedom that will overwhelm their ideology of tyranny and hate. The free world did not seek this conflict, yet we will win it.

Your don't think a little think like logic will get in Bush's way, do you? What are you, one of them "reality-based" people?

Remember, 'home' to Bush is a horse ranch that has no horses, just a bunch of scrub. Anywhere else is 'abroad'.

4. and it's not even a true ranch
it's a converted pig farm. :)

I often wonder how shrubbie can function when he believes so many logically inconsistent things. :shrug:
