Awfully quiet around here lately? Summer vacation?

And further, it's a stretch to compare a full fledged military invasion kicked off with carpet boming a nation's capital wtih anything we're doing in Libya. I don't defend the Libya involvement in the least. It's just not comparable.

Didn't George Bush carefully get UN 'permission' to go into Iraq?

Does anyone remember that the 'tingle up his leg' Chris Matthews gushed about was when George Bush landed on the aircraft carrier? But Bush or Obama, it's still pretty embarassing.

John - the assumption that opinions deserve some kind of respect regardless of their connection to any facts - often seen in cable tv for instance - is very destructive of a society.

Bad stuff. And it's all over the place.
