    Nope, there's a liar here, but it's not me

    Your arguments are so dishonest and full of fallacies that they aren't even worth addressing.

    Ah, how convenient. Can I use that line too and just be done with you?

    All that matters is that committing generations of Americans to die fighting other people's religious wars is worth it to you, because you believe it makes us "look tough".

    I never used the words "look tough", so once again you're just lying about my position, and assigning me your own hateful motives. There is quite a difference between not cravenly giving into terrorist's demands and tough posturing.

    You don't give a shit about the consequences of unflinching support of Israel on America or its citizens, and have not even tried to deny that. Thanks for proving my point.

    Of course I care. Just as, when I was in school, and I saw a bully picking on someone, I cared about my nose. I truly regret the times I cared more about my nose than the person being beat on, however.
