So why are you so bothered at hearing it aimed at him when he richly

You've called him a dictater and his cabinit a Juanta. That he doesn't
deserve and is frankly crap.

He doesn't believe in the Constitution (he's been quoted as saying it's just a piece of paper, and he's weakened it considerably), he was appointed under, at best, highly dubious circumstances, and he has repeatedly flouted the authority of Congress. I never actually said he was a dictator, but he sure looks a lot like one. Dictator is a broad term; not all of them are Pol Pot. Some of them are Sulla, or Caesar. Bush hasn't Sulla's brains, though. The important thing about dictators is that they should consider themselves above the law, and Bush and Cheney clearly do.

Yeah, we're doing so much to rebuild Afghanistan,

No we aren't. And its a huge foriegn policy blunder.

Ya think?

Not what you think. They need to rebuild these countries and to invest
in their people. The military actions were also needed, and probably a few
more would have been a good idea.

Based on what I've said, how in God's name do you know what I think? When did I ever say anything about Afghanistan, beyond suggesting that the money used for Iraq should not have been diverted from the initiative in Afghanistan (which, BTW, _was_ all about 9/11 and the funding of terrorism). What does that tell you about my interest in Afghanistan? In actual fact it says nothing at all, but even the implications couldn't extend to knowing what you appear to think you know about my views on Afghanistan. Maybe if you harbored fewer prejudices about people you know nothing about, fewer of your responses to them would sound like they came out of a can.
