Yes, Kaz, this moron does understand that it was a Republican Congress that put us back in the budget deficit, and frankly, it sucks just as bad regardless of which party did it. Concerning the war, you're proabably too young to know much about Vietnam, but the war in Iraq has some very close parallels. All the liberals are out shouting from the mountain tops that the war is the worst thing that could have happened. It's Bush's war, etc., etc. The fact is moron, that until mid 2005, the majority of the American people thought that going to war with Iraq was the proper thing to do. See

The fact is that a sizable portion of our population don't have the courage of their own convictions. In 2004, the war was the right thing to do (at least according to the majority of Americans). But, then it turned into a real war and it became apparent that we couldn't "shock and awe" it to an end. War sucks! I did two tours in Vietnam, lost countless good friends and just plain good men, and when I came back after the last tour, it was obvious that our citizens just don't have the stomach or the courage to win a war. Vietnam was a tragedy. The tragic thing is that tens of thousands of young men gave it all...and in the end, it was pointless. Look, I have my own problems with many aspects of the way the Bush Administration is waging the war, but damn it, we got in it and we need to finish it.
Regarding the war, I think the thing that pisses me off the most is the liberal revisionist history (same old tired song). "We've opposed it from the start"...Funny how in March of 2003, over 70% of Americans thought it was the right thing to do and supported it....
