    I'm going to ignore that 'chick' reference in your last comment because I sense that you have a good heart; not only that, I agree with the spirit of your sentiments. Pretending for one moment that the stated rationale (the latest in a long list)for the disastrous invasion of Iraq---to give it the gift of Democracy---is true (as if): since when do 'Conservatives' in America feel that Iraqi Democracy is worth the sacrifice of American lives? When did they start loving Iraq so much? I'm sure most of them couldn't even have told you where it was before we invaded, and I'm fairly certain that many of them still can't. I'm truly baffled by this. Why are these right-wingers so generous with American blood? Is that why they call them 'red-Staters'? Maybe they think it's cheaper than gasoline.

    PS it's 'desert' not 'dessert' dear heart. But isn't it wonderful to make a mistake that doesn't cost anyone their life? If you catch my drift.
