Hear hear James!
And I will add something I myself lifted from author Nick Cohen for my own blog; to oppose the liberation of Iraq (and Afghanistan) is to oppose the overthrow of the most fascist and evil of fascist regimes.
James, you're right, and on behalf of those in the U.S. who have similar opinions, thank you for this essay.
Actually I particularly like 'murderocracy' because the Taliban look like a bunch of crows.
Schnee and Gen!
Together we stand.
James
I have no opinion as yet.
I feel left out.
I don't know what I think about all of this. I feel incapable of making a statement.
