17. we could go back and forth forever
Just three things - first - there are foreign fighters in Iraq - and most of them represent this extreme savage, barabaric part of what has come to be called the 'insurgency".

Second - that wedding party killing saddened me to no end. But I would bet all I have that the pilots who did that felt bad about it (if they are aware of it). That's the difference. You take those American pilots and you put them in charge of that wedding party they wouldn't behead the people and line them up and execute them.

Third - the extremism - we have political extremists - they have political extremists - maybe they are two sides of the *same coin*. But just because Bush is an asshole doesn't make these fuckin' thugs anything but straight up fuckin' evil thugs. I guess in some ways they feed off eachother.

But I still think Pat Robertson is a far more decent fellow than the thugs who make these torture/murder tapes.
