        Agreed. Although I struggle with this... - Mel Profit Mar 30, 10:10 5
        
        It's the difference between "good intentions, bad result" and "evil intentions, intended result" -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 10:16 4
        
        I suppose. But I think Dubya was weak willed enough to allow people with bad intent to institute policy. Like the people around Cheney and Rumsfeld. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 30, 10:23 3

        Eye for an eye! - Spawn Mar 30, 10:08 2
        
        Ah, but the quote isn't "an eye for an eye" it is "no more than an eye for an eye" - TWuG Mar 30, 10:12 1
        
        yup - I don't care how ugly it looks. I think most people get the concept of why this is happening -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 10:19
    - Apart from needing a new thermostat in hell? -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 30, 09:35
