Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[webster groves]

Maybe we should review our situation.

Although we discuss politics, this is really a stock board.
Stock boards are populated by people interested in money.
To make money you have to start with money.
To keep money you have to worry about the pretenders to your wealth. As we all know, money and Republicans are hand in glove.

I would wager that 80% of the overall posters on these boards are Republicans. The war in Iraq is not a uniquely Republican endeavor. Democrats have started wars too. The difference here lies in accepting responsibility for one's actions. Johnson did and washed his hands of Vietnam. Didn't solve the problem, of course, but it indicated he was paying attention. With Bush, it appears to be different. He believes his handlers just like the 18-20 yr olds believe their unit commanders when exhorted to fight for "freedom". Neither has a clue. I see no reason why 50 year olds can't fight in this war. Anybody can push a button. Why must naive young men always fight old men's wars ?
