EXCELLENT! Thanks for the great reference. You're this lazy man's best friend..... :-)
Moral values appear to be selective
By now, most of us have been told "moral values" settled the election. Would somebody, anybody, please tell me, how one can speak of moral values out of one side of the mouth, then have lockjaw in the other side about the 100,000 men, women and children killed in Iraq, who didn't do one single thing against any American?
I have not heard one politician or one media person, in broadcast or in print, who has expressed our shame and guilt in this genocidal act. Maybe, those who voted for George W. Bush the first time have some mitigation in this unspeakable tragedy, but believe me, those who voted for his re-election have complicity in the killing of all these people.
Make no mistake about this. They can't have it both ways; the sanctity they claim with their "moral values" is washed away with their condoning and approving vote to re-elect this president. They can't escape culpability in this slaughter and maiming of innocent Iraqis, and our brave servicemen and women. To those who confuse our country with the administration in charge, may I remind them of what was said at Nuremberg:
"We must make it clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it. And we must not allow ourselves to be drawn into a trial of the causes of the war, for our position is that no grievances or policies will justify resort to aggressive war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy." (former Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, chief U.S. prosecutor, Nuremberg Tribunal, 1945)

Do you notice how the letter writer is careful not to bad-mouth our troops? It's all George W.
