People have been doing the same thing for more then a decade and no peep, there's a movie that won an academy award in 2004 based on it, now some one reports on the person you hate and you are all over it. I'm not sure what you call that kind of selective attention.

Saddam Hussein is gone, but our troops are still there. At least the guy provided some semblance of order in his country, which we seem to be unable to do.

Cajole! Wow! Maybe we can cajole bin Laden as well. I guess we're also trying to cajole Iran and North Korea. Maybe we should have tried to cajole Hitler. What a weak international policy. No wonder these guys like us now. The only thing they're afraid of is that we might try to cajole them.

For a country with 500 wars under its belt, that's saying something.

Gee, Sanrene- maybe we should send a couple hundred thousand American troops to Sudan in an attempt to oust their government, and then we can spend 8 years there trying to clean up the mess that we created- would that sound better to you? That's what your messiah W woulda done, right?

I don't support sending troops there at all. Let their neighbors take care of it.
