re:some thoughts on casaulties in times of war and peace.if you use that logic towards drunk driving of which i've been convicted of twice we're making big time progress in iraq right?i mean there were twice as many alcohol related fatalies 20 years ago in the states as there is now right.so american society is doing a bang up job preventing these crimes from occuring right.this war in iraq sucks period.when you sadists like moqtada al sadr GAINING politcal power things really aren't going that well.

I kind of enjoy watching the desperation creep into them as we all see the disaster in Iraq slowly unfolding. It was their idea to do this stupid unjustifiable invasion, we told them it was wrong and would not go well, then they did it anyway, and somehow managed to screw it up worse than we expected. But if anyone now dares to point out any of those facts out it's treason. No, a sudden wonderful change of events is always just around the corner in Iraq, just like it has been a "cake-walk", just like they would greet us with rose petals and candies, just like we needed 60,000 troops TOPS, and would be out within six months.

Their position seems to follow thus, "Never mind what you see, only pay attantion to us. It's really a happy-fun-place. Seriously. NO, REALLY! A HAPPY FUN PLACE!!"

so i guess "me" enjoys watching Iraqi kids getting blown up to pieces just so that he/she can say: "we told them so!" How pathetic.

Yeah fuzz,

While I said that I was amused at your desperation, you somehow took that to mean that what I really meant was that I loved to seet the needless murder of innocents. You see, by criticizing you for your support of a policy that has murdered innocents, I am actually somehow guilty of delighting in seeing the awful results of the thing I opposed and criticized.

Amusingly, your chopping my words to mean essentially their opposite smells of desperation.

Actually, "me", I'd be more amused at your attempts in seeing desperation, where there was none, if you didn't say that you enjoy seeing a disaster unfold. To me that's just disgusting.

I am always horrified to see a disaster unfold, but equally am happy to see those who are either behind the disaster, or supported the conditions that created it suffer.

You who supported the war are guilty of supporting a terrible crime - the unjustified invasion of a soverign nation, and while I don't really expect to see true justice in this world, I am pleased at whatever shadows of justice I might see fall. So seeing you (and by 'you' I mean the collective borg-conservative-hive-mind, not just you personally, fuzz) twisting about in illogical contortions is an amusement I get to enjoy.

It admit that it really is kind of sad, but your lot is far sadder. I actually have a lot of pity for you, and would encourage you to repent.

me frantically threw out:

Uh huh... sort of like the desperation apparent in those who seem to feel some need to go into the comment sections of blogs with viewpoints they disagree with and frantically shout "DOOOOOM!!" at the top of their lungs?

Something tells me the "desperation" you see is merely your own, projected upon those you dislike.

Not desperation, just me doing what I can to help. I am actually concerned about you guys, you know, so I do what I can to assist you. As someone who loves justice more than anything, and knows that justice will not appear until prudence reigns, I think of it as a sort of duty to try to assist you in looking at things more prudently. I admit that I am not great at it, but, you know, practice makes perfect.
