Ok guys, I am no longer posting on this topic. It is very emotional to a lot of people as you can see and we are not accomplishing anything. I am sorry if I offended anyone, it was not my intent. Those that supported me in my posts, thank you. The war is over!
I hope that we can discuss these things in a manner that does not cause Big Daddy or anyone else to refrain from expressing their feelings. Big Daddy and I do not agree on some things, but I respect his opinion and his right to voice it. I will continue to engage him and others on such topics, and I hope that I can heed my own advice in doing so.
I am dying to talk about the end game and how we get out of the Middle East. I also want to talk about the parallels to Vietnam. It is okay if you don't agree with me. As long as you approach it in a respectful manner, I promise I won't try to embarass you or make you look like a fool. I simply ask the same in return.
Open dialogue and content are what we need. Yes, I talk a good game and all, but I am not always right. No one is.
