VirtuousErudite and Bro2B -- amen to both of you.
And as for the Dennis Miller list, it was ridiculous. Once again, it's a perfect example of somebody taking an extremely complex issue and making it way too oversimplified, and in the process it loses most of its meaning.
(1) Saddam = bad guy? Way too oversimplified. And even if Saddam is worse than George W. Bush, that doesn't mean that Bush can't be a bad guy too. (Note: I am not saying that he IS, because I don't really feel it's my place to judge. I'm just saying that just because one side is bad doesn't mean the other side is necessarily "good.")
(2) So we're not supposed to have faith in the UN? So for some reason we don't have an obligation to listen to them, because we are in some way more special than all the other countries? Am I just mistaken, or was it the UN that ordered Iraq to disarm originally? So Iraq has to follow UN orders but we don't?
(3) Heh. Granted this was a code put in as a practical joke, so it has no bearing whatsoever on military events, but it's still funny.
(4) I sort of agree -- but then there are plenty of ignorant statements on the pro-war side too. Such as most of Dennis Miller's list . . .
(5) And we're not seeking UN approval before we kill them, either. So that puts us on the same level as Saddam and Iraq. Way to take the high road.
(6) What does this even refer to?
(7) And bin Laden has what to do with Saddam, again?
(8) I haven't heard anybody talk about a vast right-wing conspiracy. Am I just out of the loop?
(9) Cheap shot, and not especially relevant to the issue at hand.
(10) Agreed.
Seriously, folks, if you thought the Dennis Miller was "intelligent," you're deluding yourself into thinking that anybody who agrees with you is brilliant. I can see liking it, finding it funny, or even agreeing with it, but is it intelligent? Give me a break.
