Agreed completely, Larry.
When your country was smacked, I had no qualms, issues, or problems with you
going after OBL. I did, and still do, have issues with your foreign policy,
but that gave no right, no excuse for him doing what he did.
Dubya implied last night that this little war of his was due to 9/11, when
he waxed and waned poetically about "keeping it from the streets where
firefighters and police officers" have to get involved.
Well big news flash--OBL *isn't* SH.
The idea that you're attacking SH and *not* OBL is wrong. The ulterior
motives behind the attack on SH are vast, and quite proven--this isn't moral
relativism, it's the truth.
So moral relativism is one thing--moral wrongness is another--we should, and
in this very instance, did point it out.

| (...) Did you happen to hear SH's little speech? Maybe someone could explain to me why he referred to the Palestinians multiple times. What do they have to do with anything that is going on in Iraq? JOHN (22 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
