You started out okay--there is something to discuss on the topic of when a country can decide to invade another one. We could have gone into a little history, brought out our varied perceptions of the past, etc... Maybe try to understand a bit more where the other gfuys coming from.. But then you ruin any possibility of debate by stating flat out (Borrowing again from dittoheads) that anyone who opposed that invasion is not only pathetic but motivated solely by personal gain, yet. Can you not see how offensive, alienating, and just plain wrong that is? Real people are dying right now because of this bullshit. Five more GIs today, in case you didnt notice, and another 14,000 at least in hospitals, and God knows how many innocent Iraqi civilians, and wounded vets are rotting in semi-abandoned base hospitals, treated like animals and their benefits are getting cut, and their children are hungry, and the military is stretched way too thin, and Bushco wants to give away 1.5 billion to his little church buddies while grunts don;'t have body armor, and make secret deals with their4 little buddy corporations, and this war did not have to happen, so don't give me that shit about "Pathetic", and "personal gain", or I'll be tempted to call you in turn a simple dupe, a sucker for power, a mean-spirited buffoon, a flat-out fool, and a danger to society.

And yes, I'm in a lousy mood, but that doesn't make you any less of a nincompoop.
