Reply #34: That is what got me banned from FR. I really knew nothing about

[merh]

the political blogs, I had no idea DU existed. One rainy afternoon I was bored and happened upon FR. I replied to someone who said basically we needed to just nuke Iraq by asking them to consider the similarites between the invasion in Iraq and the civil war. Many southerners do not recognize that in the true sense of the word, the Rebels were not patriots to the USofA, they were the insurgents, they were the traitors. Rebels fought against the US soldiers. Yes, southerners resented the fact that the Union was trying to force its values on the south and was trying to change their way of life by spreading the Union's concept of democracy, thus a war broke out. The Union invaded the south. I asked them how that was different from what was going on in Iraq, were not the Iraqis allowed to defend their homes and way of life?

Well, I was attacked, called a troll and told to go back to DU. I was banned, but am grateful that they mentioned DU. I found DU and I don't post at FR. Just going over there makes me ill.
