I get that if you support the war, and 'hate' the 'terrorists', then the word slaughterhouse probably fits. I don't agree w/ either, so I have a hard time. To each their own.

You don't hate terrorists?
Isn't that like saying you don't hate cancer? Or child abuse?

Can you believe it? I appear to be an anomaly around here, I actually don't 'hate' anyone I don't know. There are people I hate, and I have reasons for hating them. I don't hate Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein though, or terrorists around the world, be they murderers or freedom fighters. What's the point? Why would I? They haven't done anything to me.
You're the one always talking about how the truth is somewhere in the middle of the extremes. Some believe Middle Eastern resistors are terrorists, some believe they're freedom fighters, isn't the truth somewhere in the middle?
I've often seen you frustrated when people come out hard against the Republicans with an often emotional, irrational bent to their argument. I hear the same type of thing when people talk about terrorists, and it bugs me just like it bugs you over Democrats/Republicans. Just as hating or loving GW isn't a clear-cut case, I don't think hating/loving terrorist/freedom-fighters is a clear-cut hate-them-all kill-them-all conclusion.
