I am between you two on this.

I don't give Osama enough credit for being able to forecast Iraq. Especially in light of the tape released just prior to the War when he said to his minions (words to the effect of) "It's okay to stand and fight with the Socialists (Iraq) when they are fighting the Americans".

I'm sure he was happy about it and I agree that Bush really screwed the pooch with Iraq, but I don't think Osama's predictive abilities are strong enough to forsee how really inane Bush's policies can be. In this regard (Iraq) I think Osama "misunderestimated" Dubya. I think we all did. Even I am impressed with the collosal mess he's been able to create in just three years.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
