James, I think you're hitting the nail on the head. Slash and burn attacks against either party by the other is not really helpful at this point in our country's history. Perhaps the more violent attacks could be reserved for, let's say, those who are trying to blow us up? We need our citizens to listen and think without regard to political affiliation. Otherwise you end up with a bunch of people who think that our government was behind the 9/11 attacks and that all of our country's aggression over the past five years is due to oil-based reasons alone.

And Barry, thanks for the thoughtful response. My only question is how do you consider the war in Afghanistan to only have 'some' justification? Consider that every Dem in the country was for that war and still is - they just believe that we have been run thin there due to the war in Iraq.
