That's reasonable, Nigal...

Hey wanderer - I thought you had left us for good. I don't remember many people begging you to stay.

Could it be that no one would really miss your odd form of aggression?

You're one of the few people on Earth I don't like and I've never even met you.

Do me a favor - if you can't live up to your word and stay away - just put me on ignore and drop your obsession.

There's a simple answer to this guys "Born Again Republican stuff.
If you persue the cuase of spreading freedom then you don't do it by sending in the tanks and killing 100,000 Iraqis in the process.
The invasion was never directly about spreading freedom, but about America's long-term strategic interest.
You can't impose freedom on others. They have to come the the solution themselves.

This guy seems to have decided there's more profit to be made by catering in a sycophantic way to those on the right who simply like to have their skewed world views justified.

It seems to me that those who thought that the elections in Iraq might not have been such a glorious turning point in world history may have been simply realists. I guess the author decided to break with the ‘reality based’ community.

So well…

I can't say I don't like you V-man because I've never met you, but I can say with certainty that it's impossible to have any respect for someone who considers no opinion or perspective other than his own, then stoops to name-calling when he can't win a debate with facts.

Wanderer, the racist.

So why not bang Monica. How many guys in their 40's have a 20 something yr old offer it to them. It wasn't like he had to work for it.”

He didn't bang Monica! That's what blows my mind. Her gets bjs, he plays with the cigar... but he doesn't bang her, because he tells himself somehow that this makes it better. JFK had real affairs with real women. Billy had a half-a$%ed affair with a troubled powerless girl.

BTW: I think Stovies guy has a valid point about some people being so partisan that they get depressed every time there is good news on Iraq. Just like some partisan people got depressed when they saw Clinton lead us to a budget surplus.

Some people get so caught up in the argument that they forget about the bigger picture. They'd rather be right than have peace (or prosperity). If my brother gets drunk and takes bets his kids college tuition on a horse, I'll do what I can to change his mind - but once the money is down, I'll hope he wins. Even if he does, I'll still try to keep him away from booze and the track.

I always thought it was the dot-com explosion. I think they might have got depressed when he and his media friends tried to give him credit, though.
