That Fig Leaf Isn't Covering Much

Understand but not approve? So why is it you can not understand that imperfect elections are better than none even if you don't approve?

Frankly I have heard you make far to many exuses for Iraqi terrorists to believe you don't approve. You give a strong impression that you think they are equivalent to revolutionary war guerillas and I'm pretty sure you've made that comparison directly. When the excuses far outnumber the dissaprovals it's really hard to buy the "but I don't approve excuse". It looks like nothing more than a fig leaf. And I am truly disgusted.

Mark

  - This election will be imperfect. All elections are imperfect. It is the best that can be managed at this time. Why do you not accept that? (n/t) - David F Mayer - 1/20/2005 5:22:19 PM

      - If the Sunnis don't play the game, then the will not be able to help write the rules. It is THEIR choice to exclude themselves. THEY will suffer the consequences. - David F Mayer - 1/20/2005 6:06:16 PM

        OK, "C I V I L W A R" Only the Sunnis are going to be wiped out if they don't stop attacking the Kurds and the Shi'ites. They are pouring gasoline on the very beds upon which they will lie. Outnumber… - David F Mayer - 1/21/2005 1:42:52 AM

        A stable, pro-American government, dominated by Shi'ites and Kurds. The end of decades of violence caused by Saddam. The end of Sunni control of Iraq. Permanent USA bases in Iraq to project power in… (n/t) - David F Mayer - 1/21/2005 3:29:44 PM
