<u>No, criticizing the government is NOT ignorant</u>-- it is a right gained by the blood of someone willing to go to war to protect that right and the right of others--(ask Europe about that.) I was referring to your saying there was no global terrorism (ie Spain, England, France, Somalia, Phillipeans, Iran, Afganistan, Africa, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya,Sudan--just to name a few)--and ESPECIALLY that the US IS RESPONSIBLE for creating the terrorists, and that China is not involved in anything, and that Iran is a peace-loving neighbor of Iraq's. This shows how little you know about current events. I bet you think Muammar al-Gaddafi is a saint--can you say Lockerbie--you probably weren't even born when Lockerbie happened.(Dec, 1988)

Interview with Saddam: " Fleischer said the interview included one notable lie by Saddam -- that Iraq's Al Samoud 2 missiles don't exceed U.N. limits. Fleischer said that U.N. weapons inspectors have declared the weapon's range to be greater than the allowed 90 miles.] <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/02/21/iraq/main541427.shtml

To speak as if McCain would use nuclear weapons, or that experience isn't important, shows the level of YOUR INEXPERIENCE, and why Obama appeals to young voters. Obama is one of the top liberals in congress--in all his all of 3 years--one of which has been spent campaigning--so I certainly wouldn't count THAT as experienced enough to be a leader of the free world--and believe me--the US <u>IS</u> the leader of the free world.
I especially resent you calling McCain elderly, as I am 13 yrs younger than him, and if you want to call his 95 year old mother eldery go right ahead. But this is the woman who went France in 2005, was told she was to old to rent a car, so she bought one, shipped it home, and then drove from the East Coast to the West Coast. Heck, my own mother bought herself a convertabile at the ripe old age of 81!
