Hiawatha,
these are easy words for you, an American. But as I had to point out to
a young conservative American two years ago when he said he wished that
him and I could just agree to disagree that all would be well, the
problem is this: Under the Bush administration, when America doesn't
agree with others, people die, as with 100,000 dead Iraqis.
"So relax. Rent a video. Go to a movie. Play with your kids. This
too will pass away."
Not for many families in Iraq. Not for many families in the politically
neglected Sudan (invading Iraq makes any real effort in Sudan too much
of a military and diplomatic stretch, or Haiti for that matter. Or many
other places with much worse political and economic living conditions
than Iraq had). Not for the families of Europeans still stuck in Gitmo.
Not for the families of British soldiers of the Black Watch recently
sent up to cover your backs while you take Fallujah. Not for many
families of the failed Bush economic and health plans.
I met you once and I think you're a nice enough guy, but please don't
belittle the impact this administration and this president has had on
countless lives.
I could go on, but more comments on the war, why we shouldn't have gone
in (I am a Norwegian living and paying taxes in London), if you so feel
like, have a look at http://www.against-war.net - it would be pointless
to go into it in an email.
best,

As a Bush supporter, I'm feeling pretty good right now, so maybe I
can't
quite appreciate some of the bitter commentary I'm reading here.
But I say this sincerely as a fellow American--cut it out.
