what in that to

What it is it with fascists and their thinking that if we kill enough people in far away lands, with no connection to real perpetrators of crimes against us, their people will suddenly start loving us for it?

I'm glad you asked. What I don't get is how Saudi militants were the perpetrators of 9-11, and instead we go after Iraq. That is like having a bad day at work and beating your dog or wife when you get home. It might make you feel better to attack a declawed, defanged and otherwise decommissioned military, but it doesn't address the real problem. It only compounds the situation and plays right into the persons' hands. You're actually winning their game for them! Don't you realize?

There is nothing "weak" about pursing the real perpetrators of a crime. Afghanistan was a legitimate target. Iraq was not.

out aren't rising

This is true under such circumstances... except limited supply isn't a factor, not today at least.

I commend you for that. It never ceases to amaze me when I see housewives (sorry, "domestic divas" :-) in the neighborhood driving around town alone in their F-350s just to haul, not lumber, but grocery bags. The vanity and ego-stroking of keeping up with the Jones' would be humorous if it weren't for the fact that people are being end over the stuff they throw into these behemoths with gluttonous abandon. Don't get me wrong... there are people who have a real need for vehicles which also happen to consume a lot of gas, but that's realistically maybe 10% of the owners.
