Okay, liberal that I am, I still haven't forgotten that we were *attacked* by fundamentalists from the very region you're defending just eight short years ago, so I'm actually quite glad we haven't pulled out of the Middle East. Should we ever have invaded Iraq? No, of course not; that was a horrible red herring. It is now the fault of our country and that idiotic invasion that Al-Qaeda has a stronghold there, because they didn't have one beforehand. Believe me, I know that. But to suggest that there should have been no retaliation to 9/11 is ridiculous. We should be pulling out of Iraq as soon as possible, and we are now that we have the right guy in office, but our presence in Afghanistan is certainly justified. I just wish we had the proper agenda from the start. I'm sorry we didn't. "Skull and Bones" is a ridiculous Yale frat boy club, but that's about it. If you think they're anything more than that, you're paranoid--and, yes, I've studied them quite a bit--the reason it's populated by rich and famous good ol' boys is because that's pretty much your student population at Yale. Just because they're nutty and they drink each others' blood doesn't make them powerful. They're powerful because their daddies were, and they didn't have to attend Yale for that to be true. You're over thinking things. It's a frat. Get over it. “By the way, in response to Lauren from NY, John Kerry is a fellow Skull & Bones initiate, along with Bush, so voting for him wouldn’t have made things any better.
