| 52. Is it this man? |
 http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/08/08/sacrifice/index.... Webb has recognized the severing of the link between the people in power who make the decision to go to war and the people in uniform, who pay the price for that decision. Deploring the habit of Washington policymakers to reduce flesh and blood to abstractions, Webb once corrected: "You don't use 'force,' you send people. You send young people who have dreams, who want a future." The people who make the fateful decision for the nation to go to war are, themselves, subject to no personal consequences. Their children and the children of their friends are not at risk. Without apparent embarrassment, they champion a policy of military escalation with no personal participation. |

Why would he have a posey? I don't get the reference. |
AlienGirl | Feb-07-07 11:37 PM | #21 |

why would he be per se a "handsome" stranger, or indeed a "stranger" at all? |
bridgit | Feb-07-07 11:44 PM | #23 |

Because the familiar batch of politicians will appear to be too tainted. |

Why do people keep assuming that? Is there something un-like-able about him? |
AlienGirl | Feb-07-07 11:39 PM | #22 |

What questions might be asked that would reveal if he was (not literally)? |
AlienGirl | Feb-08-07 12:17 AM | #28 |

I would prefer it not be a "handsome stranger." I much prefer a "lovely stranger." |
