        Well, we did liberate Kuwait from Saddam's evil clutches... which IIRC was the stated goal.

          Because if my memory serves me right here, then you certainly are in no place to talk about respecting veterans who have died serving their country.
          I'm thinking BK had to think long and hard about this post of mine and by that time, he had forgotten about it.

          So here it is again.

            Your memory is faulty. Funerals are not the place for protests. Respecting the dead is the most important thing.

            If you dig up the thread, you'll find that your memory has failed you.

                The dead really don't care. Not picketing funerals is about respecting the living.
