'In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written five years ago, George Bush Sr. wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War.
"Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human
and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible.... We
would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq....
There was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of
our principles. Furthermore, we had been consciously trying to set a
pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in
and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations'
mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response
to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion
route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power
in a bitterly hostile land."
If only his son could read.'

You know I was to, and I stated that in a post asking everyone to stop. However, she has personally ATTACKED me, trying to assume that I agree with terrorists. It is sickening that she makes out that muslims are the evil in this world. There is much more than "islamic terrorists" floating around. I have basically tried to be civil and many times just ignored things that she or anyone else has said. I am not on the bandwagon becuase other people are. Thank heavens I am able to think for myself and have a mind to do so. But I feel I do not have to always condemn the actions of others just becuase someone insists that I do. I am muslim and I follow Islam as it is to be followed. In my long life, I have never once taken a life (except perhaps a few animals on the road), I do not know how to create a bomb nor do I, nor have I put a whole group of people into a group and hate them.
I am always trying to think of others, and I brought extra hijabs for the women here because I knew they wouldnt. I help other people here try to understand the culture as best as I could, and I always try to be optimistic. Many people here have never met a muslim and it is good that they meet me first, to show that all muslims are not as they are on t.v.
So if you think I am Renee bashing that is your perogitive, however I direct my posts to her on what she says to me. THere is no love lost between me and her, and I assume she is a big girl and can take care of herself with the help of no one.
See, Donna, that's the problem. You think this is all about Dem vs Rep, liberal vs conservative, left vs right. And it's not at all. Somehow I think if Mystic HAD been on "the other side of the debate" YOU would not be defending him as you are now. Really, now, would you?
Personally, I had no problem with any of his posts. But apparently the powers that be at iVillage determined that he crossed some sort of line. And that's not for you, me or the CLs here to decide. When we get jobs as CMs at iVillage, then we will have the power to make those decisions.

Prove to me this is not about sides. You can't. Because it is. Otherwise he would not be barred. If it was
You're right. Thank you for bringing that point up.
It is one of the most encouraging signs we've had for the WOT since 911.

<<Secondly it is wise not to believe every word that you read that comes from Renee's mouth. >>
What's that crack supposed to mean? Are you disagreeing with a statement I've made or calling me a liar?

All the media outlets & universities who have gone back & recounted have concluded that George Bush won Florida. That is without even considering all the militry ballots that Let-Every-Vote-Count-Gore got thrown out and with the election being called for Gore while heavily Republican presincts were still open to voting.
