Whooooosh!!! All of a sudden, i can understand US foreign policy again! Incredible!! Close Guantanamo, yes i'm getting that. Appoint peace makers to the middle east, yes that seems like a good idea...
How did the Bush years go bye with such a complete absence of this sort of simple, humane thinking? Answers on a post card...

Originally posted by lepomisSo, i guess stealing my miter saw wasn't good enough? Well, other then that, i'd be willing to bend over and allow them to beg to kiss my ass. I'm just saying, don't rob me blind and expect me to be my friend. And, ah, no Military alliances either. We need the money for our own healthcare, and my daughter's life (she's in the military) comes before any other friend's life.

Originally posted by MarinkatombYeah, it seems remarkable given what we've had to endure.

An astonishing number of prisoners seem to have not warranted charges. I hope they all file suit against George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld for equally astonishing amounts of monetary damages.
