Well you have me there...I just LOVE war...absolutely thrills me to the bone to see people dying. Yup...I have been outed. Wish I could of benefitted from it actually, but alas I cant.

Seriously...WTF kind of a comment was that?
Maybe there comes a time to break protocal. Just because someone is a head of state doesn't mean he is beyond criticism by a former head of state. Carter wouldn't have spoke up if he didn't consider Bush's actions a serious departure from American ethics.

My 'you' was more a general term for those who still support the Iraqi war but you seem to be defending Bush most every chance you can. I'm glad to see that you're not really defending Bush, in this case but criticising Carter for publicly criticising Bush. A fine line you draw.
