You dont seem to grasp the fact....

R.L. — 12/15/2005 9:48:47 AM (archived)

WE are responsible for those deaths, arent we? Come on Tom, YOU are the one advocating personal responsibility, arent you? The president that started this war that led to these deaths has admitted that the premise we went to war under was umm (ooopsie) mistaken, based on 'bad intelligence'....

SO, we started a war on false premises that led to the deaths of approximately TEN times those that died in 9/11 (And that is your president's BEST guess, rattled off without any emotion)- do you understand why that might upset and concern some people?

Or are you just absolutely insane?
