[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] So there's going to be lots of commentary about Bush's State of the Union address tonight, but there was one comment that came at the end of the speech that shocked and appalled me: he in effect said that the US has been drawn into "an ideological conflict" (read: the War on Terror�) that "we did nothing to provoke". Excuse me? Just what have you been smoking tonight, Mr. President? We've done [i][b]plenty[/b][/i] to provoke the radical Islamists in the past 50 years. It's just that you haven't been paying attention to the complaints and arguments. (Note that I'm not saying the terrorists are justified in their methods in the slightest, but I do recognize that they have some � [i]some[/i] � legitimate grievances.) This is quite possibly the most disturbing part of tonight's speeches: the fact that his commentary shows that the President still, after four and a half years, shows little to no understanding of the underlying causes of the conflict, or of the reasons why there are people out there who hate America. *sigh* [/QB][/QUOTE]
