I can't be sure, but I believe MT was implying that only New York has been attacked by terrorists, and that they followed their traditional policy of voting democrat for President in 2004 not because they are so liberal they actually elected Hillary to the Senate, but because they are against the War on Terror.

Personally, I expect that at this point you could have terrorists detonate a Nuke in California or NY and they'd still go blue in the next presidential election. Even Republican strategists have mostly given up on the North Eastern states. It has little to do with their views on terrorism and everything to do with the fact that the prevailing culture in these states is deeply and abidingly liberal.

If a nuke went off anywhere in the US I'd hope that the whole place would turn blue. It would be a complete failure ...again.. of the Bush administration and maybe the folks who have been completely duped by the right wing propaganda will finally wake up to the truth.

But I doubt it.

MT,

What exactly would be accomplished if the entire country "went blue"? Please explain what strategy to save the world would evolve from this situation. How would the "blue" faction actually eliminate all the problems of the ME and our existance with them on the same globe if not the same country? in short, what is the "plan" the blue side has?

The apeasement option has already been tried in the past. It had a resounding success didn't it....for the other side.

Who called for appeasement? Not me.

We were attacked by Al Quaida.. we sent in 10,000 troops to find and kill them in Afghanistan.

Bush sent in 150,000 troops to Iraq.

Al Quiada wasnt there .... then.

Maybe we should have sent the 150k into the mountains of ToraBora... maybe then we could have brought that bastage BinLaden to justice. Who exactly would that have appeased?

I think the point you continue to miss is the definition of "their" and "em".

Yes we need to kick their butts, and we should make sure the correct people are angered by our actions. Abu Graib didn't piss off Al Quaida... it made their day.

Just so you know, Harry (I believe) is not a shades account. His writing style and absolute lunacy don't match anyone's on this board. Even if a crazy person tried to hide being crazy, it would still manifest itself someway.

If they got off on it so much, we can arrange for accomadations.

Yea, we made a mistake with that. We should have started out on the right course to begin with. Double the ammo, take no prisoners.

MT,

You responded to my post while I was in process of editing it. Can you take a look at it and address the questions I placed there? I think that will clarify for you what I originally had in mind when I first posted.

Heya Seagoon,

First of all, I hope your son is doing fine.

As to your response, it's appreciated. Although it's a rare thing for me, it's nevertheless always nice to see you put the thought and effort into the posts you make.

As to the content of your response, I must say that my questions regarding your stances on these issues remain.

Thanks, Graham is doing well, we're a little perturbed at his Doctor's "no pain meds for two year olds" position as well as his definition of "easily" as in "The pressure dressing should come off easily." But apart from that...

Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't gotten to the majority of your questions, its just that most of them would require a lot of time to give anything close to a thorough response, and would take us so far off topic that they'd really have no legitimate place in this thread. So, I'm going to create a new topic entitled "Seagoon's Replies to Nash" and answer them there.

Hope that's ok with you?

- SEAGOON

If I understand correctly you want to know what the "Blue" folks would have done differently.

I think I spelled that out pretty well. Concentrate on the perpetrators. If only that was our original response to the events of 9/11. If only we hadn't made this illogical and nonsensical excursion into Iraq...

if only.

If only... what? We wouldn't have a strategic position in a Middle Eastern country with a friendly government?

Last I heard the "perpetrators that " that took over the planes and crashed them went down with the plane. I am still waiting to hear what the wonderful "blue" plan would be.

If, for the sake of arguement, you are going to "go after the perpetrators" exactly how would that be done? Where would you go? What constitutes "getting them"? Just how far are you going to go to "get them"? What are you going to do if they don't want you to "get them" or the country they are in doesn't want you to "get them"?

From what I saw you didn't specify a "plan" any more than kerry did when he said he had a "plan" and would "do it better".
