Hey Duane! I posted this earlier in the day and just wanted to clarify a few things for you. I couldn't tell if you were disgusted with me or the cartoonist, but his name is Ted Rall and mine is not. Yeah, I posted anonymously but only because I haven't registered yet. I love the site though seldom post pictures or messages. Sure, it's not Family Circus but sometimes Ted Rall is funny and sometimes he just pushes buttons. I personally don't like him because of his Dan Hellman lawsuit (google it). However, If I don't like him I can still appreciate his freedom of speech, and I certainly wouldn't start a worthy argument only to slip into shitty insults (Duane) because I was too ignorant to hold up my end of an informed discourse. As for your claim that the people on the right knew the risks involved: well first of all, yeah all military personel know the inherent risks, but don't they also deserve to know that they are involved in a war that is truly justified? Plus a lot of the troops are reservists and probably didn't forsee this boondogle. Oooh and then there's also the fact that Osama had nothing to do with Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Another thing Duane, your grammar is horrendous! I'm sure that I've got errors in mine but I'm not calling you "simple minded" either - although both you and your ugly mama are. Look, I don't like Osama. I wish that W would have gotten him. Instead, Osama is hiding out with Cobra Commander and Destro plotting his next attack and obviously scaring you and 229248 senseless. I don't want to rattle on any longer because I truly doubt that I can change your oppinion and that's okay because you're entitled to one just as I am - and my oppinion is that Osama and his ego, greed, racism, and fudamentalism is the cause of a number of American deaths, and the same can be said for W.
