I ask you the same thing then. What have you accomplished in your question? Why then did you bother to post - to vent your emotions? Or to learn something new?

Actually I have learned what I feared was true. I don't care if others disagree. We went through the exact same process when I was bluntly questioning the WMDs and claims that Saddam had participated in the 11 September attacks. Do you remember those posts? They too made no effort to be politically correct if it meant misrepresenting the facts. I insulted no one. Insulted were concepts or opinons that were flawed. Only those who cannot separate concepts from their own being would be insulted.

Strongly questioned were popular myths promoted by what we now know was a lying president. I was not popular for posting what we now know to be the truth - and did not care. But many should have been asking themselves whether they make decisions based upon emotion or based upon logic. The aluminum tubes being a classic example of too many who failed to conclude logically. Who blindly believed what the Limbaughs were saying.

You tell me. Facts were posted bluntly back then that were proven true. Being posted so bluntly, then many immediately disagreed. Facts proved to be wildly unpopular then (due to emotion) and yet so accurate today. I am posting facts again in that 'I don't care what your emotions are' attitude. You tell me where replies provide contrary facts. Where are the facts in posts from Dagney?

BTW, as I so often say - I will not make any effort to post politely, be politically correct, or try to 'win friends' - when such posts cannot be honest. Being honest is far more important. I resent polite conversation when it will not address problems head on. Those that others find too aggressive or insulting are the same I find most interesting - because they are being honest. I also will post bluntly. Either you have an emotional response and disagree OR you will recognize the difference between your emotional response and the facts.

Which is it. I have intentionally posted bluntly with no regard to nonsensical political correctness. Which one are you: a question to every reader? Are you one who can see the facts, OR are you one who maintains an emotional attitude (as Dagney demonstrated)?

Having asked that question, then you tell me what I have accomplished. Only the silly would say I pissed off others. Their emotions are completely irrelevant. Intelligent people don't let emotional responses make their conclusions. Intelligent people ask how immoral America was for five days after Boxing Day. The reader must ask himself whether he responds emotionally or whether he can see the facts through an emotional response.

Bottom line fact remains. George Jr again demonstrated his presidential abilities and why religious extremists are so dangerous. He did nothing for five days as tens of thousands lay dying. You tell me where anyone could call that moral. He sat on his ass while thousands of better Americans in the region could do nothing - waiting for orders.
