When the Republican party has the courage to stand up and say 'this was a mistake we made in the past and we are taking care of it now' , we can let go of the issue. My main point (which has not been refuted so far) is that it is ridiculous to use 'Christians going to mass' as a barometer of success in the Iraq invasion when they were going to mass peacefully for decades until (drum beat please) the US invaded and enabled the fundie Muslims to start terrorizing the Christian minority.

It's 25 years later. Besides, there haven't been too many bloggers who have been as critical of <i>realpolitik</i> as I have. Just search for that word here at the site and read. We're nto talking about Reagan. We're talking about the here and now. And in the here and now there is no more tyrant in Iraq. That should make you happy. Eric, check your calendar. It's 25 years later.

A tyranny indeed; one that was supported and endorsed by the Reagan administration through most of the '80s. Although I don't remember the republicans using that word then. I think their word of choice then was 'ally'. "Indeed, and they lived under one of the most terrible tyrannies on the face of the Earth."

Petraeus for Man of the Decade! Do we really want to honor a man who lost close to 200,000 weapons now being used against our soldiers? daveinboca, Do you think the poor and powerless shouldn't be held accountable for their actions too? If so, you make a shitty conservative. Gen. Petraeus for Man of the Decade!

daveinboca,

Do you think the poor and powerless shouldn't be held accountable for their actions too?

If so, you make a shitty conservative.
