Not a good fight, not fought well, not fought for the stated purposes.

Anything founded upon deceit, lies and greed cannot come to good. A bully pounding the hell out of someone smaller to steal lunch money is a good analogy - however, to say that's noble is the conservative way. No one cares how you get it, just so you have it, right?

Any fight for "freedom" which costs more "freedom" than can be gained, is not a wise fight.

Teddy Roosevelt wasn't talking about George Bush, that's for sure.

    - When the Nazis and Communists signed the famed non-agression pact, the LEFT in the USA followed the party line and kissed Hitler's ass. After all, Hitler was also a socialist. - David F Mayer - 6/1/2004 6:43:19 AM
