In the process, I've used several four-letter words about popular Democrats and McCain, and we've gotten our licks in against each other as well.

I don't participate in them (usually, anyway, because I think they're dumb in that no one actually changes the other person's mind), but I'm not above lurking to enjoy one vicariously. :) Oh wait - maybe you don't mean you and 1138 are warring with each other-but against a common enemy? I'll have to go see.

If another war is imminent, the ignorant populace will probably put McCain, the war hero veteran, in office over a former First Lady or a young Black guy. As to how to avoid this, I am HOPING that THIS TIME even the MSM won't be able to report all this with a straight face.

On the surface, that may not seem important, but you have to remember that Sarkozy is kinda tight with Bush. Will France offer their help if there is a war in Iran?

If I remember correctly, the President has according to an Unconstitutional Law, the right to engage in a 90 day war without a formal declaration of Congress.<BR/><BR/>So Bush can drop bombs on Tehran, just because he wants to.
