I was interested to see in the NYT today some mention of the fact that even some WWII veterans disagree with Bush when he tries to compare that war with the one he started in Iraq.
A Mr. Frederick Culbert, 84, who commanded a PT at the landing in Normandy says, "World War II and Iraq? They're not comparable. Our war had a real purpose. I'm not anti-American at all but the truth is, some wars are more useful than others. I don't quite see where this war in Iraq is leading us."

Friends don't let friends vote for Bush

I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him. Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.
