I lived in England for many years and what I can tell you is that England fought 2 world wars for the freedoms that you take for granted.The English empire the best the world has ever seen set up democracies unlike the other powers which eventually became independent on their own following English common law and the rights of man going back to 1205. After the bankruptcy of England and rest of Europe America took up the mantle of that great tradition first with the Marshall plan and then the security umbrella that exists today. I'm very proud of my country and make no apologies for spreading democracy which is finally taking root in Iraq. It's time to give up the hate which I also had at one time against Bush, but I realize that you have a niche your playing out with your web site and that you have invested much into seeing our country punished.

I wouldn't worry that he didn't. He doesn't seem very open to anything you say, so I'd just ignore him. he's just one of the voices here, all by himself. i appreciated your comment. i did appreciate that you wrote your concern for both sides in the israeli/gaza conflict.

But as I wrote in the article above, hating Dick Cheney would be a purely selfish pursuit. It doesn't prove his crimes and hold him accountable. Same with George Bush. It would also be used against you in the court of rational debate. I do understand your frustration about him, and I hope we responded to you with consideration of that frustration. thanks. “last week when I told cheneywatch that i wanted to see cheney face the penalty for war crimes”

think you take yourself too seriously and you assume some sort of ‘our’ like you speak for the group. Do you speak for a group?

“i have read most of your posts ”
No you haven’t. Or you’d know that I have already flashed you my “concern” badge.

“i don’t see zeal for the common man.”
open your eyes then

“i don’t see concern for the middle amerian who has been forgotten by the democrats in my view.”
Open your eyes then.
