The friends and relatives of the 3,000 dead American servicemen
care, and the 21,000 horribly mangled and their friends and
relatives care.

I've no doubt they care a great deal, but that number of people, when
compared to the number of people who could potentially care, will appear
very small indeed. I didn't address the comparative few who did care,
only the comparatively very large number who didn't, don't, and never
will. For example: on many, if not most or all, of the
Spanish-language news broadcasts (even those that originate in the US),
Iraq continues to be way down the list of "major news."

Hard to believe you'd try to say that the #1 issue, by far,
in the upcoming election is something no one really gives
a **** about. Seems to me if Iraq is the #1 issue, by far,
most of the American electorate does indeed give a ****
about it.

And the red states have given much more than their fair share of
American cannon fodder to the rat-******* neocons who lied us
into this quagmire.

And yet another illustration of the several reasons that there is a good
chance the Dems are yet again going to snatch defeat from the jaws of
victory...wild accusations that reek of hypocrisy. The general
population may not _really_ care about Iraq as a major issue to them,
but they can sense when they are being so blatantly and hypocritically
BS'ed.

LOL !! STOP !! You're killin' me here ! The general population
of red state morons wouldn't know BS if they were hauling it
around in the back of their pick-em-up trucks with the gun
rack, and the confederate flag and the "My kid beat the ****
out of your honor student" bumper sticker. Good lord, 13.5
million people listen to Rush Limbaugh fer cryin' out loud
and you're telling me they can sense BS ? Get real.

No one really "lied 'us' into this quagmire," giving the word
"lied" the everyday meaning.

Yeah, they did, using any reasonable meaning of the word "lied"
you can come up with. Denial is not a river in Egypt, Richard.

The problem isn't that there has been a war, the problem is largely that
there hasn't been one.

We can agree on that point. Our energies and resources should
have been focused in Afghanistan.
