Mmhhh i notice two things:
- you made assessments without evidence. All ppl who posted here are full grown adults.
- since you have nothing supporting your assessments, you have recourse to insults.
- YOU don't seem to understand Middle East situation at all, nor what the incoming war is about. Israeli neighbours are very far from what you think they are. And Palestinians are not Iraqi. Besides Saddam is not a muslim (his government is Catholic). Check your sources before insulting people.

I would detail that Charlie Daniels (who is that dude anyway) quote here, but i'm at work, no time for that. It's full of lies (that are easy to counter with verified facts), propaganda (ie pre-made sentences made to touch peoples sensivity, but with no relation with the problem at hand) and half truths (again all are easy to counter). I don't see one sentence in that letter that aint in these 3 categories, apart from pure insults.
I'm 100% for having an adult argument. But use arguments, with evidence, and foundations, not insults. Insulting people won't make your point. Maybe that's what Mr Bush and Mr Powell do not understand...
Notice how Terramex didn't have recourse to any insult, even a single time. Notice how he made arguments based on facts that are verified and easily verifiable. You can't counter that with "nonsense" and "idiocy", that doesn't hold any ground.
