#1 The cause is not dead... Neither is the search for the real killer(s) of O. J.'s wife.

#2 There are "useful idiots" and "useless idiots". These are the latter. Unfortunately, Commies will never go away completely. I predict that when no more countries are attacked they will take credit for stopping the "imperialist Boosh". Why do the media pay any attention?

#6 These people aren't deluded, far from it.

They are simply USING the issue of the Iraq war to win support for their own battle.

They seek to challenge Bush/ institutional democratic America at every turn. Also the governments in their own countries.

They get a sense of power from organising internationally (yeah it takes such BRAINS to have a website/email list and put up some posters and rent a megaphone/sound system...) anyway it gives them a thrill.

They have an injured sense of entitlement. They believe the world owes them a living and a position of power.

They don't want to work for this, they want to demand it. They feel like they should be the bosses but don't want to have to join the system for it.

What they are in fact agitating for is their own advancement.

They want to make the decisions but they don't want to have to win elections for it or take responsibility when those decisions are wrong.

They are not taking responsibility now when they were proven wrong over Iraq, why should these clowns be treated seriously?

Yet they will continue to organise and protest. again and again over any issue they can find, evolving mutating into more effective forms.

They represent no cause but themselves. Socialism appeals to them and uses them but they are in it for their own sense of personal power and to get to direct things their way. No respect for democracy, no respect for the freedom of speech they make full use of.

In fact I worry they will get so numerous they will start taking over and then woe be to the rest of us.

#7 "Those of us who are people of faith have no trouble being in the minority. It's a matter of what's just and what's right." - Can I quote you in regard to the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election?

#8 I guess this is where the saying, "You and whose army?" has a most profound meaning.

#9 Saw a piece on Danny Glover lastnight(MSNBC,Scarbourgh Affair),seems that Bush is a racist(wonder what Connie and Colin feel about that),9/11 was the U.S.'fault,and it is American Policy that cause Castro to run a despotic,police state.
