Sorry, Nalds. I was busy typing a cogent response while you were slapping the keyboard. To be even more clear.

The economy has already tanked. If we follow W.s tax policies it will continue to tank. As in the last Bushygoround, it might cost W. his job. THAT would be a silver lining, and could lead directly to recovery. Do I want the economy to continue to suck worse than it has in my whole life and see the school system my daughter goes to continue to loose money while being forced to spend what it has studying for tests I practically guarantee our president couldn't pass? No. But odds on with W. at the helm and if it leads to him lossing a second term at least it won't have been for nothing.

Do I want Massive American cassualties? Wht are you, some sort of monkey? Do you honestly think I somehow mnage not to have friends in the military? Beyond that, I honestly care for ALL the folk who will suffer in this war, not just the ones in American Uniforms. Anyone who thinks we can wage war from the air and take no cassualties, is a savage and an idiot. It saddens me deeply that America tends not to see war for what it is until some of it's own citizens die, but historically it's pretty clear that's the case. Like some families of survivors of 9/11 who have found common ground with Iraqi parents who lost children in the last war, perhaps this is what it takes.

But all if this is just chin music, becuase while you don't agree as is your perogative, you undrstood what I was saying all along. Or am I giving you too much credit?
