....that's your opinion! :)
The last I checked this is a political discussion forum not a 'RAH RAH' left wing ditto head blog. :(
Two points before I go back to 'gazing perpetually into my navel'.
Point 1, What you refer to as "squabbling over a word here and a word there" is, IMHO, to deny the humanity of the thousands of innocent, non military people who have died so far and who are in fact still dying every day.
"If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth."
- Joseph Goebbels, Minister for Propaganda in Nazi Germany
Each of us forms our own 'reality'. To surrender one's own reality to the perceived reality of a mass of uninformed people is counter productive to our long range goals. If the technique of constant repetition works so well for the lie, just think how well it works for the truth when you have reason on your side of the argument. In our case the reason is, a firmly held, patriotic belief in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The American people at large have to hear it over and over and over again until they realize that they are in danger of throwing their freedom away along with those documents. Dumbing down any argument to fit the reality the masses may be experiencing only serves to enforce their view of that reality. The very fact that Americans for the first time 'seem' willing to accept the notion that killing other people without the right of due process demonstrates the urgent need to speak the higher truth always. Our guys deaths are no more important than the death of any other person innocently caught up in this mess. Not to the dead and not to their friends and families. To deny that reality is to further erode the principles the Constitution and Bill of Rights stand for, IMHO!

Point 2, As far as your statement "fomenting arguments and suspicions over such minutia" is concerned. Not an argument, a discussion. You have your opinion, I have mine. I've stated some things people might want to think about. Nothing more, nothing less. The only real problem I have with you at this point is your use of the word "minutia", whether consciously or unconsciously. It sent a chill up my back when I thought about the subject of your usage of the word. :scared:
Wow look, that navel lint looks like GW! Only smarter! :wow:
