Host. I don't recall what thread and how long ago you said it, but you said something to the effect that you were [recently pardoned from avoiding the vietnam war]. Probably vague for other people, if you remember what thread perhaps you can link it., but this quote makes so much sense to me:
"In a real way, the events of 9/11 and the reactions of the government officials, the populace, and the media, that has followed, in a sequence of events that is still playing out today, has been a catalyst in setting my belief systems "free""
Don't take this as a personel attack, it's just the way i see it. Of course it's set you free. There's a very large segment of our population post-Iraq that embraces not just questioning of the government, but a complete distrust (tempted to say hatred) for it. It's the home you've been looking for since 1973. But that population has always been there, Iraq didn't cause that distrust it was just a conventient catalyst for a public dislplay of it. I'd almost suggest you wanted Iraq for that reason alone more than neo-cons did.
