Italian hostage dies with honor.

I'd rather die like that than out on the battle field where people don't know your dead untill they find your corpse.

True, sometimes they don't find your corpse. Also, at least a shot in the head is a quick death. Not like a gutshot to bleed to death slowly.

My hat's off to the Italians for standing up for what they thought was right.

But not to our President for doing likewise?

No, my hat is off to him too. Bush wants to go to war? GOOD FOR HIM. Doesn't mean I have to agree with him.

The Italian's decision to go to war was a personal one. Unless Italy has some sort of draft, he could have very easily say "Fuck this shit" and stayed home.

Bush's decisions affect a very large number of people. But I can vote Bush out of office.

And if Bush doesn't get out of office, big deal. I can still keep disagreeing with the war. The government isn't going to come to my house and beat the shit out of me just because I disagree with the war.

EDIT: I've seen war protestor videos that show anti-war demonstrators getting the shit beaten out of them. But do you honestly think that is George W's doing? It's just the local government. Complain to them.

meh, like they say, it's better to go out with a bang than with a wimper.
i'm sort of split between who i want to win. i REALLY don't like how Bush is going about things with all the wars and stuff, but i kinda want to see him having to scramble around if he finally catches on that things aren't going acording to plan. because even if Carrey does win, he has still got a MASSIVE mess to sort out when he gets in office.

okay. I can respect that opinion.
