I have a funny feeling that the editor is looking for controversy-which is fine by me-these people need to wake up!

3. That was a great LTTE

I find they have more impact when you just state the facts, especially the ones folks may not be aware of. In the meantime, Barton is just speaking in bumper stickers and doesn't offer a single number to support his position but just erects a straw man that the only alternative is to negotiate with decapitators.

4. Thank you, w8liftinglady. It is very sobering.

That crazy republicon logic seems to be a counter to your facts. Anyone who chooses war has already lost.
