i'm not trying to pick a fight w/ya pan...

but what is flamebait if it isn't an opinion w/out foundation? the fact that it was his opinion doesn't exclude itself from being flame material imho.

to end a short post with describing the President of the United States as the man who murdured this guy is a radical thing to say no matter which way you stand on the iraqi war. the abscence of supporting premises, the follow-up with an unsubstantiated claim of the US being responsible for 25,000+ innocent iraqi dead, and the short, shrill nature of the tone in which i read... it was clear to me that it was flame material.

my apologies to the new guy (or girl, i have no idea) if i'm out of line.
