Butler County's great daily newspaper

Whenever I read some of the comments here by some regular contributers, I'm reminded of the title of the book "A Confederacy of Dunces". JJ casts doubt on the fact that Clinton ordered cruise missle strikes on Osama bin Laden's base in Afghanistan in 1998, and asks me to prove it. Have you been following the news for the last 10 years? Do you know how to do a Google search? Why should I need to prove things that are obvious facts that any relatively informed person should know. And we have Lisa, with her pseudo-intellectual rants showing that she doesn't have the vaguest understanding of the U.S. Constitution and Supreme Court decisions. Matt believes that homosexuals and athiests have taken over, and he has twice stated, quite erroneously, that Clinton is solely responsible for selling out our industrial base to the Chinese. Do some reading Matt. It started during the Reagan administration and expanded dramatically with the first Bush administration and Clinton allowed it to keep rolling. We can criticize Clinton for doing nothing to stop it but the situation was well under way before he was elected president. Now we have folks decrying Barack Obama as the anti-christ of the new world order. Get a life people! We have two real choices in November for our next president. The most educated Americans support Obama. He is opposed by the misinformed. Next we have Amesh, who I agree with on some things. However, he is dead wrong on his comments regarding the justification for the invasion of Iraq. I assume Amesh's roots are in the Middle East and nearly everyone over there hated Saddam but as bad as he was, there was no justification under international law for the invasion and occupation of Iraq no matter which way you look at it. It's the greatest boondoggle since the Vietnam war, which our leaders at that time justified with the false Gulf of Tonkin incident. Too many writers on this forum just say what they please without examining the facts or being well-read. Open your minds to the truth.
