RCT2 Questions

Bush might go with too much force, but that is what those Islamist Terrorists understand.

Unfortunately for US, our allies don't see it the same way....and frankly, I don't think attacking *Islamic Country 1* (note the RCT tie-in, I'm fairly clever for a liberal progressive) is going to bring the MODERATE Muslim factions over to our side. If we had pursued a *humanitarian* removal from power of Saddam that mirrored the one of Milosevic, we'd stand a MUCH better chance of NOT creating MORE terrorists...

I have to wonder why it's SO horrible that someone who experienced war FIRST-HAND would come out *against* war?

Hadn't we tried a more "humanitarian" effort to remove Saddam before? Bush Sr. knew it would be a mess if we went after him militarily, but didn't the CIA try a few times to either bump him off or at least start enough of a movement within the populace that THEY'D overthrow him? Not quite humanitarian, but better than getting directly involved for sure.

Honestly, how can you expect to have a militant people who celebrate everything by shooting bullets into the air that occasionally come down and kill innocent bystanders and they say "whoops" be calm, diplomatic and democratic? There's a solution out there somewhere to please these people (the radical fundamentalists) without annihiliating them, but no one's found it yet - then again if they keep sending their children off to be walking bombs, maybe the problem will take care of itself in a few more years ...

I would like to add a big thank you to Bush and those in power for allowing the ban on assault rifles to expire. Good thinking.

Yeah, because most crimes committed with guns are committed with TEC-9s.

Unlike many Republicans, I'm not a "gun nut" and I believe in some form of gun control. But this was just a "feel good" law. It did nothing to stop crime. Criminals don't care if a gun is legal.

I could care less if the ban remains or not. Extend it or get rid of it. It doesn't make a difference to me and it doesn't make a difference in society. Enforcement is the answer.

"The facts themsleves have an anti-Bush agenda"....don't blame me, Jon Stewart is at fault for that one! ;)

Kinda like Kerry...but at least Cheney's only the #2 guy on the ticket....

Okay, so how about this? To call Kerry a "flip-flopper" and ignore Bush's contradictions is ludicrous.
