There is a major difference between Viet Nam and Iraq. When the Jane Fonda's and John Kerry's turned America against the war, and even they didn't do that single handedly, but it was an ongoing effort from many camps including the supporters of that war, they also turned the American people against the military. That hasn't happened in this campaign. The support for the military is as strong now as it was when we first went in. I just recently traveled and as I was went from airport to airport, I was so gratified to see how well our military folks were treated and honored by the average American as they moved through the concourses. That wasn't the case in Viet Nam.

And while they hate the radical hedonism that Hollywood promotes, those who hate that aspect of our culture also hate those of us who believe and live our lives for Christ. There's no difference in their eyes.

I too cannot understand the terrorist mindset. I don't believe you can understand insanity.

I am sorry for the confusion. I was posting while doing something else.

I didn't mean the Islamic mindset. I meant the Americans who hate America and its military, mindset.

The only thing between the hajis and the Hollywood crowd and other liberals who the hajis hate, is W and our military.

I am mystified by the mentality of those Americans who think that by removing W and the military from the equation, they (the liberals) will somehow be safe.

They won't be. The next time the hajis hit, it may well be the Hollywood morons who get clubbed. Wouldn't that be poetic justice? (sorry, momma told me not wish for such things)

I remember the nuns showing us old newsreels of Neville Chamberlain standing at the foot of the airplane ladder, holding up a piece of paper and smiling.

It still amazes me that the man actually believed that he had accomplished something.
