Rhetoric Only Gets You so Far
The Exile, a Moscow alternanive newspaper, has a highly interesting editorial based on America’s unwillingness to follow through with it’s occupation of Iraq. Writer Gary Brecher (a.k.a. “War Nerd”) takes off the gloves in his piece: “You Pussies!”. His take is that war is brutal and never pleasant, and condemns those who are backing away from their initial hawkish stance (based on recent polls). A worthy read which includes facts about lesser known occupations in history.

Please stop the trolling that being a Liberal is being unAmerican. It’s really old.

This guy is not a typical liberal. I never said that “being a liberal in un-American” so why don’t you re-read it and give youself a pat on the back for a lack of reading comprehension.
Pete,
I’m sorry. I connected the 2nd and 4th sentences from the post on September 3, 2003 06:29 PM more strongly than you intended, although not more strongly than can reasonably be read from the statement. I apologize for responding hastily.
However, your sarcastic comment about my lack of reading comprehension is unwarranted because your post is ambiguous enough for me to reasonably interpret a troll.
