<p>Well, it WAS respectful...I just read the later posts AFTER I posted my reply to the earlier posts...</p>
<p>Anyway:</p>
<p>"...he has chosen to continue the mission. Case closed. The American people, by majority vote, effectively OK'd the mission in Iraq when they re-elected him in late 2004..."</p>
<p>Case closed? Hmmm...that sounds exactly like Bush's attitude. He think that since he lives in the big house he doesn't have to answer to the people, or to the rest of the world. He has forgotten that the President is supposed to 'serve the will of the people.' His arrogance and hubris are beyond belief.</p>
<p>Are we sheeple? Are we supposed to just blindly accept what the govt. tells us? Is not dissent (the right to disagree) one of our liberties that is so valued by democracy?</p>
<p>And, btw, bush has never been elected by majority rule. In fact, he lost both times. Only by voting fraud did bush land in the white house.</p>

<p>Check it out. There's evidence. But because the House and Senate are run by Republicans, nothing's being done.</p>
<p>It's the beginning of Fascism. It's happening right here in our country, and people are burying their heads in the sand.</p>
<p>Please prove me wrong. I am willing to read whatever info you send me. Will you read this? (the above link and the links on the 'Seeking Physics Scholars' thread)</p>
<p>Open-minded discussion of opposing ideas is the only way to bring about lasting peace. Let's try to understand one another and quit pointing fingers.</p>
