Well Steve if you had gone to what you sneeringly call "CPA school" you would have been taught the concept of materiality. Your constant harping on the few incidents shows that you have no idea what that means. While you drone on and on about what amounts to fraternity hazing pranks you never ever talk about the daily bombings that kill 30 to 100 people at a shot. Hearts & Minds? How can you possibly think that Al Qaeda is winning them killing dozens of people every day while we have very few incidents. The two you cite were from the same incident. And if Qaeda is winning their hearts it's not based on what we're doing, it's inherent within the mindset of the population. To both you and them we can do no good, only evil. You talk about hunting down Osama but you don't tell us how we can possibly go into Pakistan and get him. All talk, no solutions. Your egotistical and elitist ideas are a distinct minority amongst anyone I talk to or even most of the members here. Even the Democratic party knows the danger of your positions. Maybe you should look inside yourself as to why you're so off base.

Oh, and I don't THINK we're the good guys, I know we're the good guys.
