Are all your friends members of the Man-Boy Buggering Brotherhood? What are we doing there? I'll tell. We, along with our allies, are trying to prevent another radical state from being created in the Middle East. I don't like flaming, but I am really getting sick of the rhetoric that "Ooooh, the nasty, nasty Ray-gun will, so we have to get him out of office." You people want to make me barf. You take the rhetoric that is handed down from the democrats, and repeat it like the morons that you are. Why don't you look at the facts, or are the only facts that you get from "That's Incredible". You can actual talk about the economy sliding due to Reagonomics. I don't see how...the market is the strongest its been for years, and all the business indcators indicate good times ahead. And, for your pet bitch, yes, unemployment is also going down. AND NOW MORE RATIONALLY BACK TO THE SUBJECT: We first tried to prop up the legitamate government of the brother of the President of Lebanon, who was assassinated by being shot in the head by the same radical terrorists and religous fanatics that you are supporting. This was done in conjunction with other nations. However, this did not work. Even I, a firm supporter of our presence in Lebanon in the Multi-National Peace Keeping Force, will admit that things did not work in Lebanon. Therefor, it will aid the process of trying to form a legitamate government to get the Multi-National Peace Keeping Force out of the direct conflict. This does not mean that we are bowing out of Labanon in the same way that we bowed out of Viet Nam, in shame. We are still attempting to get a working peace and a legitamate, survivable government in Lebanon. This is by stopping the terrorist and foriegn agitators and combat troops from hindering the formation of the new government. AND BACK TO FLAMING: It would be really nice if we could have peace and harmony and good will to all men, but that dream is not reality. But obviously some of you morons out there are asleep and dreaming. WAKE UP!!!!! "Ourya Otherma Eraswa Ombatca Ootsba" (issued under a Dem.
