Perhaps true in this administration's application and execution of it - but what is the alternative? Terrorists for the most part have no state, though a part of Al-Q had Afganistan. I mean how else do we solve this problem if terrorism is indeed a problem, which most think it is? How else do we prevent the attacks from happening, which surely must be the goal. Even if we caught ever member of Al-Q today and killed them, there are other terrorists out there. Should we not seek them out as well - and seek them out before they strike us? Terrorism from many sources is a real threat. Thus, all I am saying is it is not as cut and dry as calling the war on terror the "most laughable and oxymoronic phrase in the English language." There is a war on terrorism but it is a hard one to fight and I vehemently disagree with the way W's administration is fighting it.

However much I love reading (and occasionally contributing) to this discussion, there was a fear earlier on that this post would get political... and it has... Perhaps the discussion should be taken somewhere else and let's get back to the REAL topic of this board - La Nicks herself (without her politics!)...

She really is. Her parents are attornies and politically active if I remember correctly.
I am really curious to see if Lance decides to run for some kind of office in the not too distant future.

Who was asking her to?

Drama queen.

Better yet, who are the terrorists?

SH also had attacked/invaded an American allies (Kuwaitt anbd Israel) and the sanctions etc. that eventually did him in were a result of those aggressive and terroristic acts. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that his terroristic regime fits in the enemy side of the war on terror even though SH had nothing to do with the actual attacks on 9/11 and SH had nothing to do with OBL and Al-Q.

I don't even have time right now to go over the holes in this argument.
But I'll give you points for trying to mount some type of defense.

I was saying that she was trying to be respectful of these peoples' feelings.

I'm simply asking for proof of her $5,000 donation to the DNC last summer. I don't give two squirts of duck **** what you think about me, the fact remains that all of the information on Newsmeat, that "ONE website" you referred to, comes directly from the Federal Elections Commission. So, the question remains: how do you know she donated $5,000 to the DNC last summer?

I'm not on trial here and I really don't feel like I should explain myself to you or anybody... but, I wouldn't make a statement like that if I was pulling it out of my ass... I don't do that... The point was to emphasize the fact that Stevie is a democrat who contributes to that party regularly.. would it be so far fetched to believe that she contributed $5000 last summer when looking at her past record using YOUR source? why can't you just take my word for it?? jeez

Because you stated that she donated $5,000 to the DNC when all other sources prove otherwise and I wanted to know if you had a link or a source that you could post that contained the information about her donation.

Am I calling you a liar? No. Am I saying you "pulled it out of your ass"? No. I'm just asking for a point of reference. If you can't provide one, just say so.
