OK, on the one hand, we've pissed away thousands of U.S. military lives, tens of thousands of civilian lives, hundreds of billions of dollars, and the goodwill it took our forebears 200 years to build up as the world's good guy...all to create a hideous civil war and eventual jihadist state closely allied with Iran.

But on the other hand, gay folks can't get married.

Like I always say, everything in life's a tradeoff. Some of you folks were perfectly all right with this deal. Many of us think you people have something seriously wrong with you.

That's the score.

1. I like this comment. It goes with the toon.
We have turned so many corners in this war that the provervial square has had all of its edges smoothed into a circle. Therefore, the infinite circle of retardedness continues.

(spelling theirs, not mine!)

2. I don't agree. Neither in my eyes nor in that of all my friends and
relatives have the USA ever been the "good guys" of the world. Not at all. Under Bush it's only more in the open. Sorry.

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!
