[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by UncleBeer \* \*\* [quote] I would have tried something witty as reparte, but couldn’t think of something appropriate. I’m not particularly lighthearted about people belittling the possible deaths of several thousand of my friends and myself so far from home. I’ll stop posting to this thread, but would appreciate a pointer on where would be appropriate to post on this topic. > [@](#): > > I understand that and sympathize with you. However, MPSIMS is a “social” forum; it’s _supposed_ to be light-hearted. Gripes and such belong in the BBQ Pit. Reasoned debate belongs in Great Debates. There are several threads currently running in both of those forum where your comments would be more appropriate. > > And welcome to the boards. \*\* Um, **UncleBeer**? What’s with the coding? Have you been drinking _brake fluid_ again? ---

If the war began on April first like it _should_ have we’d have an April Fool’s War. Lousy Bush. Just for that he is so not getting my vote come reelection. ---
