Excellent. That pretty much sums it all up. I'd just add one thing to the democrat response in the case of ART. Before answering, I suspect he'd also first reach for his laptop to see if The Nation had anything to say about the matter, and would then draft 14 posts about the ethical perspective of and unfortunate childhood trauma experienced by his poor misunderstood would be killer. But other than that, you nailed it.
Thats the understatement of the year 
ART is simply one twisted sick individual who must hate himself
so much for being an american.
He should go to the middle east and offer himself as a
slave to all the terrorists for the sins commited by other
americans
Put your money where you mouth is 777. GET OUT OF THE USA
and start making up for all the evils we have caused
all over the world
Im sure the terrorists would be thrilled to meet a guilty ridden
american like yourself. LOL

Collateral damage justification argument doesn't wash, unless the agenda is 100% pure in nature.
If the motives are not pure, then the innocent who die and are labled "collateral damage" are in fact murdered indirectly in the same way a drunk driver murders when his car spins out of control.
We use rationalize our own evil by saying we are doing some good.
It is a con job by the administration, and when you look at who is profiting from this war, it is no coincidence.
The very fact that we allow profiteering by US corporations during this "holy war" against terrorism is the ultimate in "shamocracy."
As far as Tillman goes, he is considered a hero and a patriot in this country, in the same way that Che was considered a hero and a patriot is his country, and many of the "terrorists" are considered heroes and patriots in their countries.

You are confused. Sadaam wasn't "listening" to the UN and the IAEA. As they noted, he was not cooperating with inspections. True, the UN did not sanction an attack, but by then the issue wasn't about Sadaam "listening." By then it was too late, he had failed to "listen" to the world body when it tried to work with him to inspect his WMD facilities and records.
Actually, there has never been a single power who was as much a force for good (although not without plenty of mistakes along the way, which is inevitable). But more importantly, what history and the League of Nations has also shown is that without powerful countries to keep order, a world body is useless. This was why the small countries actually recommended and supported a strong role for the "superpowers" in discussions over a United Nations (Dumbarton Oaks, Yalta and San Fran). Thus was born the Security Council.
What's also funny is that so many people think the US should not be the major power, and they often say the US should keep out of the affairs of others. Then when tragedies happen, they demand the US get involved or fault the US for failing to do so.
I should hope that sensible Liberals like Bungrider & RS7...and even those a bit father to left like Waggie & Rowenwood, would do right thing and put a few new holes in their attacker. Wouldn't they?
It's hard to fathom.... but i've met people who swore
they would not.
In a kill or be killed situation, I just cant comprehend how
anyone would vote to have the CRIMINAL survive, ESPECIALLY
when the vote is coming from the would be victim
Some people are seriously warped.
Almost like rabbits...evolutionarily evolved to be food
for predators...lmao
Kill me! Kill me dammit!

If you could stun him with a taser, and call the police so that "justice" could be served, that would be a less barbaric approach.
Folks like you have an old west vigilante mindset.
