Look, if it seems obvious to you, spell it out for chrissake. Why can't you even bother to demonstrate what you keep saying? Or is it that you're just making this crap up?

And I never said that noone knows for sure what's going on. I said noone knows for sure what is going to happen. That's quite a big difference. Common sense? What common sense? You have common sense?

No, I'm not going to "convince" you that my remarks were not aimed at the possible war. You made the claim. Why can't YOU prove it? Or is it that *gasp* this claim of yours is total, unadulterated BS? Look, you think you got me all "figured out." If you do, why can't you spell it out?

You know what, you did convince me of one thing: it doesn't matter how much logic and reason is applied, some people just don't get it. I saw it clearly from your first reponse when you riposted my reply with "you don't know the facts" hoopla. This isn't about facts, this is about a concept; a concept with which this country was founded on. And since you can't possibly fathom it with your ultranationalistic mind that logically derived concepts are true not because of facts but because of their lines of reasoning, you will never, ever, get this thought.

You know what I think it is? I think that you just got pissed because I criticized an article that was praising America - nevermind, of course, that the praise is corrupting and sycophantic to the highest degree. Therefore, it cannot be beneficial. And somehow, you equated my negative attitude towards the article to disloyalty to this country.

Your fanatical nationalism amuses me. And at the same time, it saddens me to think that people in other countries will see people like you and will perceive American nationalism as a mere fanaticism.

Think about stuff for once. Until then, suffice it to say I, too, am done with you.

ps - what's up with sitting on the fence and throwing stones metaphor? Go back and read my pie metaphor. Now there's a real use of a literary device.
