being liberal or conservative and arguing that your side of a two sided argument is ALWAYS the right side... is the strongest single indicator of the ignorance and pointlessness of the discussion itself.. because no one is discussing or debating for knowledge, truth or enlightenment or anything else... they are discussing and debating with an agenda to defend their own views, belief systems and life perspectives and doing so with a closed mind.

Well I'm not American but if it wasn't for being in wartime I would probably want a Democratic president in the US (even though I couldn't vote for it myself), but since it's wartime, even though the Republicans have only done a half-hearted job of fighting the Islamists, it's still way ahead of what the Democrats would have done. Remember how Clinton didn't do shit after US Cole, retreated from Somalia, sent a couple of Tomahawks into the desert after the African Ambassy bombings and gave up multiple opportunities to have Bin Laden handed to him on a plate. Oh and my favourite, when he decided to bomb a baby milk factory in retaliation for one outrage.
Bin Laden said himself that he was emboldened by such a display of weakness.
If the Dems get in then the generation afterwards will have to put up with bring nuked, simple as that. You win a war by defeating your enemy, not by flirting with him.
