Well Boy Wonder, I seemed to have struck a nerve.

In honor of your attempts at the worst analogies of all time, i think i'll respond to this one.

Just a quick question for you. What if the New York Times ran a headline which read: "Civil Rights Movement Said to Worsen Threat of Racism." The article tells you "Efforts by the Justice Department to end racial discrimination in the South has helped spawn a new wave of racial animosity." You read further and discover that recruitment of members into the Ku Klux Klan has increased since the federal government stepped up its efforts to bring the vote to Southern blacks.

Tell me .. .would it be time to pull back and let the racists and bigots just have their way? Or would our determination to go forward with the civil rights struggle merely be strengthened?

Riddle me this batman. If after four years of efforts to reduce racism in the south the number of lynchings of blacks had increased, fewer blacks were registering to vote out of fear, and the number of KKK members had increased- would you consider said efforts to be
1. A big success, no more problems with racism.
2. A moderate success- lets keep doing the same thing.
3. A moderate failure- time to reasses and maybe adjust our tactics.
4. A complete failure. Time for something new.

5. A noble cause worth fighting for.

They are saying that we shouldn't have invaded Iraq because it is causing more terrorism. In other words, we made them mad

Who is them? Remeber that we didn't make people who were already plotting agisnt the US mad- we made people who had no intention of attacking the US mad. I would consider that a massive failure.

UBL and those of his kind.

That being the case, can you imagine how mad the Islamic fascists would be if we caught or killed Osama bin Laden?

See only people who are ALREADY in that boat will be mad, not people who didn't care previously. The thing about IRaq is that it took people who previously weren't interested in killing americans and pushed them into that camp.
