Of course, trying to argue this with a neocon apologist would be a complete waste of time; they'd simply use it as ammo to demand *more money* to pay for *more waste programs" and start up the draft to provide more troops.

What we've spent *so far* on this war would've been enough to move the entire population of Iraq to the US and set them *all* up with small business loans several times over.

Oh, yeah. Preaching to the converted. Sorry about that.

Is there something else you'd rather have offered to you? Food usually doesn't offend people; that's why it's a good offer. I have a martial arts buddy who likes it when I take a flying kick at his head, but most people don't like that.

Joel. Not sure if he's still limber enough to throw flying kicks without hurting himself, but willing to consider the option.
