Are you that dense? > Whose' this, "We" you're talking about? I am not responsible for my (grand) father's debts. G. Bush isn't responsible for the actions of Presidents before him, and/or US policies before him either. So what has "our" past got to do with either Mr. Bush's, or my, or your actions now? Look.....It's very simple. Right here, right now, we are dealing with murders and tyrants who are killing our innocents. They attacked our buildings on 9/11, and they finance the recruitment and training of those who will attack us tomorrow. I want this stopped. I don't give a damn about the past, or who hates, "us". They should hate those who erred, and not me, or Mr. Bush. But whether or not they hate me or him, I still want to go over there and kill those murdering bastards in the desert. Why don't you?
