but when Saudi terrorists took down the WTC, we attacked - Iraq.

I was just curious what completely uninvolved country would receive the full shock and awe of American justice.

Did I mention that I am glad Sarah Palin isn't VP?

because I "got" it.

I'm just not sure if:

A. I fully agree with the underlying premise.

B. even if I did, I'd find it funny.


Any questions?

I wasn't making jokes about kids with their legs blown off - I was making a satiric comment on disastrous Bush era foreign policy. I thought we could do that on DU.

I wasn't referring to you alone, but to a few others here as well.

As to your satiric comments, yes, indeed we can "do that at DU", I just don't understand

why you would assume those same policies would apply in the Obama Administration.

At least it "sounds" Chechnyan!

I wonder if Putin will now ask for aid to help him shut down extremists in Chechnya...

Some of us "get" it, we just don't find it terribly funny.

You might need to get out more, LOL.
