    Rooting for the enemy?

    Ummmm, one is rooting for the enemy during a war, one is not? Not to question anybody's patriotism, of course.

    I don't see how it is. I don't even think there exists "the enemy" as such, just largely unaffiliated, self-interested groups that this administration has lumped together for political purposes.

    This division of the world into "us and them" is intellectually lazy, and frankly, pathetic in it's desperate desire for moral absolutes. A lot of the people who claim to be "us" are only out for themselves, and you'd be a fool to think otherwise.
