Wow. The US seems to be as dangerous as the terrorists in Iraq. Probably more so.

1. Fucking stupid war....

I can only imagine the horror and think of all the ghosts and nightmares our soliders are going to have to live with forever. We always ask, "How many new Bin Laden's will the war create." Perhaps we should also ask how many new Tim McVeigh's or John Mohammad's will this create?

4. Er, why don't they use tire spikes?

...nnd concrete barriers that force vehicles to slow down? I've seen them used by armed forces in other countries. Dozens of Iraqi civilians have been killed in this way.

Now *there's* a winning campaign platform. Run it by a few focus groups first before running with it.
