The assault on Afganistan was needed; not only as revenge, but also to keep it from happening again. Now, I will not say that my friends have either died or put their life on the line for vien; but come on...Bush, just like so many other times, did not use his brain. 2. The roll into Iraq was not only obtusely planned, but was inacted without proper sanction. This "War on Terror" is going a bit too far (ie Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act). Not long ago, harsh words were able to be used freely (duh freedom of speech), now we have imposed or apprehention of a terroristic threat, because some dumb drunk decides to speek his mind. 3.Those words like 'I'll get you back', 'Revenge is a bitch', 'I know where you live/work', and other "steamed" words will now land a chap in jail. Needs no nevermind whether there was intent or if it was only verbal frustration. You can only take so much 'rule' bending before someone (who is almost obligated as an AMERICAN) needs to step up to the plate and go toe to toe with 'the man'. I love being an American, I love freedom as well; but there is a fine line betweem duty and greed. 4. I've seen too many kids, just out of high school, die for their country for something that I feel, could have been delt with in another fashion...or at least an attempt made.
1. There's one of your problems. Too much Carlin. You are aware, aren't you, that Carlin is a COMEDIAN?

2. First, you should learn what obtuse means. Second, you should at least attempt to read some recent history. I'll give you a heads up: Type "Resolution 1441" into Google search. Read. Learn.

3. Bullcrap. Those words, randomly ranted, will NOT land you in jail. They MIGHT, if they're clearly accompanied by malicious intent.

4. Blind editorializing. You're saying "could have been dealt with better", but you give absolutely NO examples of what could have been done better. Typical.



*Note: You're drunk, aren't you?
