Remember Pearl Harbor
and all of the other victims, as well as the costly lessons, of war. |

| Since we seem to agree that the invasion of Iraq is a national
calamity.. The answer would be no. Not in the same sense that the right wing
cartoon did, at least.
Please look through my post and see how many specific political names,
references to specific political parties, etc you find. My comments
were directed to a failing foreign policy, not blaming
specfic individuals or portraying others as extremist buffoons. |

| Chuck,
I can't figure if you meant this to a joke, or it was unintentional. What
was it? |

| Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, thanks. I'm pretty confused abaout your reference to a "war on terror". Surely
you couldn't possibly mean the invasion of Iraq? If that's a war on
terror, we're losing big time- there are a lot more terrorists in Iraq
now than when Saddam was running the show- (he was a lot more effective
at catching them than we seem to be, and he was enough of a bastard to
keep them in check. Our problem? We can't be as big a bastard as Saddam
used to be
in order to keep some remote resemblance of order there and still
promote our "noble motives" or claim to be helping the Iraqi people).
We are hoping for a victory where somebody shows up, surrenders, and
signs a peace treaty. How quaint. There is no "somebody" in charge over
there who can call off all the religious fanatics from the various
sides. If you are waiting for terrorism to stop in order to declare a
"victory", good luck with that. We're inciting more terrorism than
we're stopping. You won't find many liberals shedding tears for guys like that
high-ranking Al Qaida member who was taken out by a CIA drone last
week. That's what the "war on terror" is about, IMO. |

| Chuck,
Are you using a national calamity into an opportunity for political
mudslinging? |

| Chuck, the left, you included, have taken the War on Terror into
opportunities for political mudslinging for months now. Where is your shame and decency? |

| More simple-minded, right-wing b.s.

| Bull. Anyone reading the stuff coming from the left from the likes of Dean,
Kerry and Murtha knows George's link is spot on. |

| Well at least you do not disagree that using Pearl Harbor as a vehicle
to attack the Democratic party is shameless and indecent, and the best
defense you can mount for your philosohpical ally is "you or somebody
else did worse, first, or whatnot." Frankly, that's a more reasonable
response than I thought I might see. |

| You make it way too easy Chuck. ;-) Well at least you do not disagree that using the War on Terror as a vehicle
to attack the Republican party is shameless and indecent, and the best
defense you can mount for your philosophical ally is "you or somebody
else did worse, first, or whatnot." Frankly, that's a more reasonable
response than I thought I might see. |

| There was a great interview on NPR this morning featuring an 84-year-old
survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack. A retired contractor, he lives in
Hawaii now and for some years has devoted all this time to trying to
identify the remains of hundreds of "unknowns" killed on our ships
during that attack. Many are buried in the Punch Bowl cemetery. http://mission.blackfoot.net/STUDENTS/Web%20Pages/Casey/Punch%20Bowl%20Cemetery.htm |
