"I have no problem with the others that oppose the war, just you."

And, from what I have read of your posts: Don, Tony, Lindy and anyone else who posts here on the Zone who is against the war or against your innate and unchallenged views of what the universe is and how it operates.

"You throw around insults like coward, racist, dishonest while you display some of those very traits yourself. You refuse to engage in polite discourse and insult the credibility of all that you engage. You retreat when you wish and attack when you wish."

Okay, lets see if these shoes fit:

When you refuse to admit that anyone even has an argument, and thereby avoid having your viewpoints tested, then is it true that you might be acting in a cowardly way?

If you make adhominem remarks about someone when you know they are false (as tom has done recently to me, and SDAI does to Don, and you have done to Lindy), then is one not being Dishonest?

If you take issue whith those who think that this war was predicated on reasons that were ultimately false and those that think that some accounting should be made, yet you can not provide any evidence even after the war to support the predications- then don't you think leveling the charge of a lack of intellectual integrity might be accurate?

You and your ilk here spend a great deal of time pissing on the other side for FALSE reasons. If I dribble on your shoe for TRUE reasons, why are you crying foul?

"Amazing that you can't see that you are speaking of yourself. "

I recognize that People Like Tom have valid thoughts and postitions. I read his reference materials avidly and with pleasure and respond to them as much as possible and as much as time permits. He holds positions, outside the war, that I generally respect and recognize as equally valid to my own, even when I disagree on a values perspective (social welfare, and etc). You are selectively blind to what I post, because you are just looking for shit to throw at people, not discourse.

I give to you what you give to everyone else who dares disagree with you (and I do the same to others who behave like you, such as Ed, LarryJ and SDAI). If you don't like it, shut the heck up, quit crying, and go home.

"It is here for all to see. Where are your cheer leaders? Oh yeah, Lindy."

I doubt that. Lindy and I have clashed directly many times- as you tend to ignore.

Tom and I bash heads often, and if he gets to call me a stalinist, I get to question his intellectual integrity. I have respect for Tom and others here, don't confuse my lack of respect for you with a lack of respect for them.
