Quote from Ivanovich:
And then comes an intellectually stimulating post like this that couldn't be more wrong if it tried. Every time I think a nice, in-depth discussion can be found on this site, I am reminded why I should never get my hopes up.

Joab,
I really shouldnât be posting while the market is open so this will be my last for now.
1. Since the world consists mostly of commies, socialists, dictators, and thugs, I could care less what the âworldâ thinks of the US. Isnât it ironic that so many of those that âhate Americaâ still want to become US citizens?
2. The world hates the US because of one man? I wish I had that kind of power.
No, the world hates the US because of one party and irresponsible Americans. The debate to go to war is over; liberals are still debating the issue for the world to see. The reasons we went to war are now totally irrelevant, liberals are still playing 20/20 hindsight for the world to see. The fact is troops are on the ground, weâve taken out the Taliban and a brutal dictator, and the US now has a moral responsibility to provide 50+ million people the opportunity to enjoy the greatest gift in life, freedom.
American values dictate that we not abandon 50+ million to brutal dictators and thugs like we did in Vietnam.
Iâll try responding to the other posts later today.

Looks like a lot of whining and panic on your part, Joab...and all for nothing. THe sky is not falling....and we are not at war with Russia.
Would you do us a favor and post a journal with your trades, I think you would be a wonderful sentiment indicator.![]()

Quote from mtwokay:
How many millions of people have been given the opportunity to live in freedom because of Presidents that do the right thing like Reagan and GWB? How many millions did Reagan liberate standing up against communism? 50+ million people in Afghanistan and Iraq alone now have a choice to live free, just like you, and people like you condemn him for it.
