You Have a Right to Your Opinion
Dennis — (archived)

And I have a right to mine.
Not everyone agrees with you, nor does everyone agree with me.
Debate and opinions ("free press") and the right to assemble are American traits.
Be mad as hell.

Blowing apart mud huts and terrorizing what's left in Afganistan, might weaken the Taliban, but many more fighters join their resistance every day than we can take out in a year.

And the anger and resentment builds.
What you see as "justice" and "protection", is like putting our boots into quicksand.
Maybe we shouldn't have jumped in so quickly with such determination.
Bush is throwing his unwanted weight around into countries with nuclear weapons.

This can have unintended consequences.

Let's hope he backs down and goes to diplomacy if he's threatened by a major nuclear power. (See my post on the insults he gave the North Korean leader today.)
Otherwise, if we have a shouting match, someone may press the red button, and a chain re-action will follow.
This will be the ultimate in arrogance and stupidity.
