    oh please. What is the point? One can never prove whether there would have been an attack under different policies. So it is an irrelevant statistic. You could just as easily say: ‘Look thousands of Americans died in war under those policies who wouldn’t have otherwise.’ Equally unprovable and, as such, meaningless as a claim of policy invalidity.

    Um, yes you can prove it. It’s called history and it’s full of examples of things that worked and didn’t work.

    Ramirez really must hate Obama. It shows in his work; because the toons are so intellectually dishonest with NO, not one d@rn thing, basis in fact.

    BCS–Ramirez is the best. You “attack” all the one listed as being from the right and laud those listed as from the left–b o r i n g–get some new material

    I was going to make a snide remark about 800#, but I normally like her so I’ll pass.

    As a New Yorker it’s that second Tuesday in the September prior to those seven and a half years I won’t forget…

    oh, c’mon Howie, is Obama really trying to make people believe a lie? The fact is he’s charted a rather centrist, pragmatic course so far. Centrrist enough that some on the left are unhappy with him. The far right just hates him and everything he does, no matter where it falls on the political spectrum.

    Ramirez is one of the latter

    It is a cartoon BCS. I have nothing against Baroke other than spending what we do not have and continuing a growing government. I have no ill will toward him as you like to profess.

    Ummm, wasn’t there an anthrax terror attack that killed Americans on American soil? Or does that not count?

    btw: on the artisitc front…good caricature drawing! I like the art.

    I haven’t been attacked by a rampaging rafter of turkeys in the last 31 years. Must be my prayer to the flying spaghetti monster I make every night that did the trick!

    Yes, the anthrax attacks done by a domestic terrorist kind of fell off the radar. There are so many ways this country could be attacked from terrorists within and without, from militia members to Al Quaida, that it boggles the imagination.

    Anyone who thinks the attacks ended needs to stroll through section 60 at Arlington, or other burial grounds. When our kids die THERE, it hits us HERE at home.

    As for “fighting them there so we don’t have to fight them here,” I have a question:

    If “fighting them there” stops them from attacking here, then why are there attacks in countries that are NOT “there”? What about the Danish embassy attack? That surely isn’t “here”, is it? How about that attack that killed 60 in Algiers? That isn’t “here”, right? Oooh! How about the terrorist attack on the US embassy in Yemen in 2008?

    Or, are you saying that it’s okay to send our boys in girls into the meat grinder so they can go be bait to lure attackers away from the geographic United States? Is that what the “fight them there so we don’t have to fight them here” crew are saying?

    And they say liberals don’t support the troops?!

    daniels, you are also a Pastafarian?!?
    And if you ask me, the two snipers that were killing all the people here in the DC area back in 2002 count as terrorists…domsetic but terrorists.

    fennec: Nah, I’m not a Pastafarian; I’m too lazy. :-)

    I haven’t been mauled by a tiger since I got Sooky. Is it

    a) because Sooky is a fantastic watchdog

    or

    b) because there are no tigers in the wild in Canada

    Very good, CF…but then of course you are a phil major I think!

    The anthrax attacks count as terrorist attacks, and the Bush administration’s toadies refuse to admit it. Ramirez just proved he’s fallen for their lies. A pity.

    Depends on how one defines “terrorism”.
