Actually, I was referring to the sameness of both parties, but I can understand where you interpreted that as an insult. I could have gone with the elephant, but I felt the jackass was more fitting. My apologies for not clarifying my point.
You assume I am a Shemp-head; actually, it's more a statement of the obvious due to my username. You also assumed that I am turning my back on this country just because I disagree with Captain Dipshit and his idiotic war. You are wrong, one does not have to blindly support the Government to be patriotic.
Bush took a major tragedy like 9/11 and used it as an excuse to invade Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with what happened. You love using the WWII analogy, but are wrong in doing so. Iraq never attacked us, Japan did. Japan was alligned with Germany. We didn't enter that war because of the Holocaust, we entered it because we were attacked, and we went after the right people. As for almost getting our asses handed to us by Germany, not even close. The Germans were getting theirs handed to them by the Russians and were in no condition to try to take over the US. In fact, Hitler wanted no part of the US, and didn't want them in the war.
A better analogy for this war is Vietnam. Just as we had no business over there, we have no business being in Iraq. If you are so gung-ho about this war go over and fight it. I don't care how old you are, it would be better than killing off a generation of young men that don't want to be there, like we did in 'Nam; or even worse, ruin their lives (just ask my uncle, but don't bother him during one of his many flashbacks or he might think you're a Vietcong trying to ambush him).
If you want America to police the world then put on a uniform yourself.
