Yep, horrifying is a good word. And by the way, thanks much for your reasoned posts regarding Bush's speech yesterday and today. They've helped keep me calm amid my frustration and intense desire for Bush to denounce Arafat as a career terrorist.
I'm right with you. I *try* to tell myself he really does feel like we do, but he just can't say it out loud. It's hard though, isn't it? I guess that's why I'm not in power anywhere.......LOL. I lack the necessary tact to prevent a third World War!
As I said on another thread, a lot of these people around here come out of the gate just a little too fast; of course, a lot of them are just LOOKING for the bad parts, IMO.
