wow--freeper e-mailed me an apology! has turned around!

Way back last February-April, when BushCo invaded Iraq, I was embroiled in a message board that had a lot of freepers and Bush supporters attacking me for my outspoken questioning and criticisms of the invasion. One of them was particularly virulent. Her husband had to serve a month or two over there, early on, so I guess out of loyalty to him she was completely unquestioning, rah-rah "Operation Iraqi Freedom," and very disdainful of any idea that the war wasn't exactly what it appeared to be.

Imagine my surprise when I opened my e-mail this morning to find this:

Subject: You were right...

After enough time has gone by, I have to admit, that the war has proved to do nothing but kill alot of our men, and I ask myself, why are we still there. So I admit I was wrong... and I am sorry. I tried to email you before, but my puter is slowing dying of a failing hard drive, so you may not have gotten it. I was going to log on to the "hilary" board and agree with you, but realized those posts were way back in June. Hope all is well with you . . .

For the past two or three weeks I have been feeling optimistic that the general population is waking up to what is going on and that BushCo will have a very hard time of it come Election Day (if there is not some MIHOP attack or crisis like that)--this just confirms that feeling!
