>"Wishing death on Sharon....."

Exactly. By one of our religious leaders.

>" or wishing (scrap Israel, add Axis of "Evil" Iraq, Iran, North Korea) be wiped off the map is the sort of rhetoric only a child or teenager might employ in public. That someone of this caliber could be elected President....."

Since we're talking about things this way, I have to point out WE have called for countries demise as well.
Racial hatred and rhetoric from OUR President. Now everyone's got their nickers in a wad because some other president wished US ill. Haven't you figured out yet that GWBush is a just a tad hair-trigger happy and a racist himself?
Why just yesterday I was discussing the very same thing with a very conservative friend of mine. he was decrying the Iranian president for calling for the death of Israel. When I asked him if it was any different from being lumped in with the "axis of evil", he grew strangely silent.

Now this does NOT mean we can't take this guy seriously, but it DOES mean that you get what you give............usually in spades.

BTW, when my kids were little, listening to the kids chatter in front of the TV for Saturday morning cartoons were about the only time they watched TV.......so it was like music to my ears. They were safe and warm and happy. I wonder if it's like music to Iraqi father's and mothers when their little ones are gathered around the TV sets watching cartoons...........or are they too busy dodging our 500 lb. democratic bombs?
