I also like having SB around. SB and I don't see eye to eye on some things, but we've agreed to disagree and move on. I wish there could be more of that on this forum. People are never going to agree on everything. Name calling and nastiness have never won an argument. People should be able to discuss things openly and honestly, whether others agree with them or not. Discussions are healthy and necessary.
Al, I hope everything is all right for you. I don't understand how such strong hostility suddenly sprang up. I truly hope everything is well with you, your family, friends and life.
Sometimes a break is needed from this forum.

The middle east will pay dearly for not accepting a gift from Christians for leaving Iraq and allowing them to maintain their own security.. They failed..
You cannot and should not confuse those actions as done by Christians. Those were actions because of power and greed of Robber Barons, who try to hide behind Christianity. (Halliberton and Cheney come to mind). They are the ones who opened this can of madness!
Thank you, I was going to point out that these wars had about as much to do with religions as any of America's past wars.
Wars are fought for economics, a modern day version of manifest destiny.
I dislike Bush as much as anyone but I don't believe anyone would be that evil as to send young American men and women to die over money.
My favorite author believed it. He felt that in World War II this wasn't the case, but in subsequent wars, kids were, to paraphrase, sent off to die like so many rich kid's playthings.
