Dowding, please stop making lucid, thoughtful posts. It gets the Reps all riled up. Just play along with them and pretend that everyone who is opposed to war and violence is un-American, un-patriotic and limp-wristed.
FWIW, I supported the Bush administration in this war, and I believe that we must finish what we started.
That being said, I hate war and violence, at least in reality. It's pretty fun on the computer, though.
