Yup. US society cares more about the lives of embryos (little clumps of cells smaller than this period ".") and people in vegetative states than it does healthy, living Americans...

I think a lot of the jesustards don't realize that stem cells come from embryos ("." remember?) and not a fetus. And even that fetus ain't much, man, it ain't much. But hey, keep 'em alive until they can hold a gun and then ship 'em off! Hooray for the USA! USA! USA! USA!

Blah. Thanks for the cartoon.

Myrrander, your grief for the victims of 9/11 and the recent London bombings hasn't changed your mind about how to solve the problem. Why do you expect--demand, even--that our grief over soldiers and their families change our mind aobut how to solve the problem?

You seem to think that because you are not willing to make a sacrifice, that those who are willing do not actually care about the sacrifice being made.

What if Bush went on national television and wept--openly, honestly, and at length--for all the lives that have been lost because of his decisions as commander in chief. What if, in tears, he apologized publicly for each and every soldier's death, and for all the collateral deaths as well? What if he spoke with heartfelt sorrow and more tears, about the "ripple effect" and the impact on American society. What if, in short, he displayed in public the most sincere and complete remorse a human is capable of expressing?

And what if, when he was done, he wiped the tears from his face, blew his nose, looked straight into the camera with those red-rimmed eyes, and said "But let me be clear about this: as much as I truly regret the sacrifices that must be made, and as much as I weep for all that we have lost and will lose in this battle, I believe it is the right battle. I believe that the victory is worth the sacrifice, and I believe that victory is possible. If I had it all to do over again, I would do the same."

Would that answer your objections? Would it make any difference to you?

doonebury was an instument of the liberal left during vietnam too, with little or not so little jabs at the government, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Bush can sob his lil heart out over the soldiers lost and maimed in Iraq. But, until he apologizes for taking this country to a war based on self-serving lies, those sobs are meaningless. In fact, even sorry don't walk the dog.

As for comparing Doonsbury's jabs at Iraq with that of Vietnam, you sure aren't the first to make the comparison of the similarities between these two American quagmires. All Doonsbury is doing is staying true to form - that being liberal, yes, and anti-bullshit wars for no goddamm reasons.

But, when all you hear are stem cells crying, no wonder you fail to see the connection.

MONKEY: He sure seems sincere.

PANTS: Well, he's not sincere.

MONKEY: Really? How can you tell? Because he sure seems sincere to me.

PANTS: I can tell, because I disagree with him. So he must be lying.

MONKEY: Oh. Well, that makes sense, I guess.

PANTS: Really? Because you don't seem very sincere about that at all.

Also, I don't see how it follows that caring about stem cells means being unable to care about soldiers. I seem to have no difficulty caring about both. But since that doesn't fit your stereotype of conservatives, you'll probably conclude that I'm lying.

Way to align your worldview with the comics page, Zink. Let me know if that ever works out for you.

There were no lies. Why don't you post your proof in the post that I have been asking for?

these was no quagmire in vietnam, I should know I was there, and I hear the stemcells crying "zink get a opinion of your own"

You're certainly proof that they don't always end up as much, regardless, Myrrander. Fuck you, you asshole. You are and always will be jesusstayscrunchy, no matter how many "Dr. Jekyll" poses you make to get off blacklists.

P.S. Ayone that wants to blacklist me or ban me for saying it is welcome to do so.

Touch a nerve there, Baker? I'm afraid I don't understand your hostility. Before birth, these clumps of cells are sacred to the righties in this country. Afterward, well, better hope mom isn't on welfare -- she's just bilking the system. And we, of course, need constant cannon fodder for our wars.

Fuck me? Nah, I could do without the hypothermia of the penis that screwing you would give me...

Doonesbury used to be my least favorite comic when I was little. Now it is my favorite.
