Well Winsor, you are by definition not a left winger. Congrats.
I don't like Bush that much at all, I do think that so many people hate him so much that it blinds their perceptions on world events.
And funny, I don't feel embarrassed at all, why should I? I am merely experssing my well-informed opinion on world events. Because I don't agree with Lannt doesn't make me embarassed at all. I just don't pretent to know everything, but the ironic part is, I probably know much more about world events than Lanny does and the historical context in which to take them. I think alot of the differences today is that less and less people are taking history. They are getting all their informaiton from CNN and CBC Newsworld - most don't know to quesiton context and delivery of a message. Most people take the news as unflitered fact.
Like I say, it's my opinion that Iraq and Afghanistan will turn out ok and that it will work. How can I be wrong in expressing my opinion?
I can't. I hope it works out and I am surprised at the flak that I have taken here in expressing that.
I have no problems with people thinking that it won't turn out ok, the problem is with people who HOPE it doesn't turn out ok.
At the end of the day I'd rather be on the side of say the 'dregs of society
(our Canadian Forces that Lanny likes to call them) than the misguided and freeloading pacifists and 'war is bad peace is good crowd'.
