As a child, I found the Cold War to be out & out scary. During those years, I truly thought that it was very likely that my sister & I would not live to be adults. I was never worried. Not even during the Cuban Missile Crisis? I was worried in a general sense re: the Cold War up till then, but was basically petrified at the height of that deal. I remember my (7th gr., IIRC) English teacher giving an assignment that was due in 2 days' time, & thinking... what's the point? - we might not be here to hand it in anyway; it seemed so insignificant & ridiculous in the face of that super-tense situation. My parents were married just after Kennedy died. So I never experienced the stupidity of that part of the Cold War first-hand. While I knew MAD was possible, I never really worried over it. |

And he only beat Gore in the Electoral College. More people went to the polls and voted for Gore. |

True, bolstered by lies, he defeated Kerry, but it didn't matter because the idiocy was unstoppable. |

If and when that happens then the Iraq debate will take on yet another set of legs. They will have some explaining to do when the shit happens in the aftermath. ![]() -- |

That's (part of) what pisses so many people off - the dishonesty, & wangling things to fit his own agenda. ("Come hell or high water, I am going to find a way to invade Iraq!") Then trying - & to a large part succeeding - in duping the public. Until they - well, most of them - woke up. Cathy How do you know? Were you there? Were you privy to classified information? -- |

In message news:MpidnYYGHckn1bTbnZ2dnUVZ_q2pnZ2d (AT) comcast (DOT) com, n5hsr sprach forth the following: Man the Dims really do want to replay Vietnam, don't they? The "replay of Vietnam" began the minute the first US troop landed. |

You seem to think the world is at peace until GWB came along, that is not true. Terrorism has been building for many years, culminating on 9/11 with the killing of about 3000 innocent citizens. |
|
know you are very partisan and that is why you take the position that GWB is an idiot. He beat the best the democrats had and I know it must hurt you profoundly. Tough shit. -- |
