Reply #36: Hi there redqueen. [View All]

Sorry being so slow to get to this post. Good thing you posted further up since I was trying to go from top to bottom ;-)

With some misguided "progressives" I was partly "trolling". After all i wanted to get some feedback to my little rant, which was built on my post to you on the other thread btw.

I was not thinking of Kucinich at all. He is frankly one of my favourite American politicians. I wish political reality in your country was such that he could actually stand a chance for the presidency. If life was a little bit fair he would play some part in the Kerry administation.

I would have to agree with you that if it was possible it probably would be for the better if US troops could be totally left out. American soldiers are probably some of the best and bravest on the planet, but there is so much animosity towards the US. A lot of it caused by the US strong support for Israel.

So who was I refering to?

Basically all of those who scream at the top of their lungs that the Americans should get out immediately. There have been plenty of posts with that message. People who are so blinded by hate for Bush that no matter what happens shout out that this is Bush's fault. I am thinking of people like John Pilger, who not even covertly root for the insurgents and celebrates each american life lost. He must be having a field day today :-(

I guess who I am particularly refering to, is anyone, whether they vote R or you vote D, who let's the "propaganda movie" out of Fallujah guide their view on the correct policy in Iraq.

I am too young to have been a part of the Vietnam era being born around the time of Watergate. So, I appologize for offending you with the cut-and-run terminology. It will henceforth not be used.
