Perhaps you mis-understand! I don't QUITE care what your politics are. If I wanted political debate, I would go to a political forum. <br /> <br />Fact is, I didn't support Bush's election at all. My guy didn't even run. You say you elected Bush. But have you forgotten what you elect any President to do - defend us from all enemies, foreign and domestic. <br /> <br />The point is that, as a combat veteran who took an oath similar to the President's, I intensely resent the equating of any law abiding President (THIS war was legally declared by Congress) with Hitler, Kruschev, or any other ruthless despot. <br /> <br />And yes, somethings are just plain black and white. Nothing in the American civilian experience is as stark as war! You either live or you die; you win or you lose; you fight or you submit. There is either victory or destruction. There is no middle between the extremes of war. <br /> <br />Within civil politics there is a middle ground, a lot of room for all gradations of thought. But we are not at "Civil Politics" related to the issue before this forum, we are at WAR. I probably hate that more than anyone. But that is the way it is. <br /> <br />Now can we please just keep PARTISAN politics out of the issues of war and peace, and out of this forum? <br /> <br />Thankyou, <br />RmC <br />
