You're too funny. Bill Clinton's war? I mean, really. Check the timetable.

The point I make is that I think it is an unfair stretch to blame 9/11 on the effective opposition of Communism of the Reagan administration. If one is going to insist upon this, then we can just as easily blame 9/11 upon the ineptitude of the Clinton administration.

Unfortunately, your argument doesn't hold water. I know you can't see it, but that's only because you've long chosen not to.

And, per the previews, Bucket List looks like a good film. Nicholson is always entertaining.

Can't stand her? Don't you think she is attractive, in an alien-from-outerspace kind of way?

So, what are you saying? Anybody, with any sense, would utilize logic and reason and accurate events of history to deduce that indeed Reagan and Conservative/Republican politics are the blame for 9/11? It's an interesting theory, but lacking in credibility. You, sir, seem to be the one with your head in the sand. Appeasement and cajoling and conversation, the usual tactics of the left to deal with murderous regimes, has proven throughout history to be disastrous. In matters of foreign policy, you should be quite thankful for the accomplishments of Ronald Reagan.

"In matters of foreign policy, you should be quite thankful for the accomplishments of Ronald Reagan."
Ohhhh, you mean the work started by Truman, and continued by Eisnehouer, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter that Reagan also worked on? I know you think the sun rises and fall with him and that his famous line "Tear down this wall," was the main reason communism collapsed - along with his clever ploy to make the Russians think we were actually going to have the Star Wars defense system - forcing them to further spend money on their own defense... blah blah blah...
As for the 9-11 blame? I blame the criminals who did the deed and their mastermind organization.
All I know is that after the first World Trade center bombing, we went after, captured and tried the responsible parties. Think we'll ever consider doing that this time? Nope. we don't want to capture them... It's too much fun having them out there to hate and to use to justify ANY foreign policy decisions this idiot you support so much makes.

Her mouth is twice the size of a normal mouth. I sure wouldn't want her to give me a hickey!

A question I ask myself, as I consider what you have just written: "Am I as cynical toward the Democrats as you are with the Republicans?" And I do not like the answer. Is there a truly earnest, honest, virtuous politician on either side? Maybe Charlie Wilson's character has them all beat? Yeah, he had a lot of character flaws- but he was known in political circles as a man who kept his word.

Her hairstyle and, as you have pointed out, her signature mouth combine in the movie to give her an "ET-like appearance". Still, you can hide beauty only so much, and most men I think- no matter how old and married and pretentious- would have to admit that Julia is attractive.
And I don't think you need to worry about any physical abuse coming your way, from her lips to your neck, anytime soon.

I'm not cynical about REAL republicans. This neo-con bunch are NOT Republicans. I've voted for Republicans. I don't buy spreading peace through war. They do.
