Still letting other people connect the dots for you?

Mary Anne — 12/6/2006 4:13:07 PM (archived)

Criminal attacks don't "enlist" anyone.

Islam has millions of members. If "Islam" were at war with us, don't you think there would have been a little more wide-spread and constant action by now?

Donald Rumsfeld has already proven he has an imagination that outstrips reality.

Iran's actions and intent can still be modified, but not if we continue in the present infantile behavior of not speaking to a nation because we don't like their government.
