You may THINK we are "reforming" the Middle East and that it is being done by the likes of your comic book friends in the White House, but let me remind you we're scattering the terrorists to the wind in places where they'll re-group and come back to hit us hard. Actually, we are making whole countries "terrorists". What little peace and livings they were able to eke out of the land, have been ravaged by American bombs.
Reformation, my foot.

Fire up your ovens SDAI!

Actually, it wasn't personal. My line "I find your mental images reminicesnt of some long ago era where troops marched with their boots, waving flags for their Furher..........." is actually a comparison I was making about the majority of Americans who walk in lock-step with Bush's policies, without even questioning his motives.
