Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Zeev Hed]

Rewriting history? Read the following posts, from long before the war started and after: #msg-464455, #msg-464876, #msg-527040, #msg-1424794, or from a year ago, whee I summarized and cited many prior messages #msg-1435398. FRankly, doctrinaires of the kind of both Bush and Dean are not really suited to solve such complex problems. Flexibility, pliability, and yes, even compromises are much better. If Bush stays on, before we are finish with Iraq, we will have an armed conflicts with Iran, and that will be worse than another 9/11 on our soil.

f you want a global war with Islam, go ahead and vote Bush, if you want a more peaceful world, where terrorists are hunted to extinction, without massive conflagrations with the like of Iran, Indonesia, and if Musharef is unseated in Pakistan and replaced by extremists, even Pakistan, then vote for Bush. There is a clear choice, if you want our young soldiers dying in far away fields for the next 20 years, chose Bush, if you want direct surgical removal of terrorist nest, chose Kerry.

It is time our young sing :

Oh, Mother, why have you raised me
So dearly for the last score years.
Was it just for my heart
To serve as a bullet's target?

Oh Father, don't you remember,
The days we spent at the ball games?
How I loved the azure of the skies?
All that, to prematurely have
my ceramic armor pierced by a hollow charge?

I loved the shade of our green oaks,
And not the view of their trunks
Decapitated.
I loved Mary, our neighbor's daughter
And not her raped corpse in
The morgue.

Oh mother, what have you raised me for
So dearly, the last score of years?
