I don't think there's an appropriate quote to pull from this article so before you go on with my point you should take a look at What Price for an “Advisory” Timetable? Bar an Unauthorized Attack on Iran first.

OK, now after reading this, here is what we need to do...

We should be looking at all of our so-called representatives and the decisions they make and compare all of this with the number of people dying on a daily basis in Iraq. That is what human life is worth to them. It really is that simple. You can be Xenophobic about it and look at just American lives. You can be crass about it and look at American money, too. But it's really a simple cost analysis. So this "compromise" that talked about in the article I linked to above is more than a compromise, it's an indicator of how dispensable those people who have died and who will die are. And as we know, 99+ % of those in office have no family members in Iraq so it isn't a test of how they feel about people they love. It's a simple test on their attitude about human life.

When Democrats decide to accept their corporate leadership's "compromise" to weaken already weak legislation, they show how they feel about human life. Those who truly value it will be fighting for every single person who may die tomorrow and later. With every compromise thousands more die. (and billions of dollars wasted, if you care about that)

And before some internet parrot spews the ridiculous argument about fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here...Iraqi's did not and do not have the means to do anything to us here. Also, there are other ways of preventing terrorist attacks than pre-emptive murder. In fact, what we're doing isn't even effective.

Solving problems without violence isn't being a wimp - it's solving problems...meathead.
