1. My flatmate went out to Iraq on Thursday.
I'll answer when he gets back. But if I had a response, it would be to Tony Blair.

2. No... because I'd smack him, end up in jail and not be able
to take care of my 6-year-old.

However, I would tell everyone I knew how awful this war is.

Wait a minute... I do that NOW.

And I do have a friend or two in Iraq (praying they come home intact and safely).

4. I would not agree to meet him face to face.
I hate that man, and it turns my stomach to even look at him. He is destroying this country. There is no way in hell I'd agree to meet him. Not that the possibility would even exist. I have a donkey bumper sticker on my car, and I have a bumper sticker that has a picture of a heart and says "War stops a beating heart." I don't think the Secret Service would let me anywhere near that idiot.

6. Having lost someone that I knew...

I didn't know him well, but he and my brother were good friends. I would simply bring a picture with me, maybe on a T-shirt, of Lance Cpl. Michael Smith and his infant daugher that he never got to see. I would ask him, "Why?" Nothing can be done to undo the carnage that Bush has wrought, but I want to know the unabridged truth of what was going through his so-called mind when he decided that he would do the terrible, terrible things that he has done. That's what I would do.

My cousin came home from Iraq in a "transfer tube". I'd show the turd my behind.
