I adore Prager... his big booming voice and gentle spirit, truly a remarkable human being. And very smart to boot.

Dennis is a national treasure. I hope he continues on national radio for many, many years to come. His respectful, reasoned discussions with those who differ, and his frequently non-political, deeply insightful discussion on the big issues of life have taught me a lot.

One of the best lessons- simply clarify your differences with others and leave it at that. Forget trying to win them over. Just know your position and explain it well. If they disagree, so what?

amazing how Leftists still think that we are not under any threat from the islamofascist terrorists, even after 9/11

How much have we dropped in Iraq & Afghanistan. Should the government just stop taking care of the poor, sick, helpless?

[jakefree25]

Who are the enemy? Even if 80% of those casualties are from other Arabs and not us or our allies, does that negate our responsiblitly for starting the war in the first place under dishonest terms based on a non existent threat? Like Colin Powell said, if we go in, then we are going to own what happens.

" 1 million + family members of Iraqis who have died in Iraq"

1. Your source?

2. What's the percentage of Allied collateral damage vs.intential insurgent attacks?

"efforts should have gone to capturing Osama and not settling a score"

The over-emphasis upon Osama alone is the weak spot for those left of center. Islamic terror existed before and shall exist after Osama, and my primary woe with President Bush is in the clear definition of that enemy and not singling out Bin Laden alone.

[TheJediCharles]

Yes, on?

I did not say "good" in terms of settling good outcomes. When I said the word good i meant fighting evil. Do ou see U.S. soldiers fighting evil in Iraq, or what exactly are we fighting agaisnt there? Look at my question, I am asking what are we fighting agaisnt, NOT what are we fighting for?

[angelina247]

You don't want to be taxed to pay for daycare or health care, but you allow your government to give away 700 billion dollars to companies like AIG that spend $27,000 for a "spa day".?? See, everyone is a conservative until they're broke. Then they have their hands out just like a homeless bum. I'll bet most of AIG executives are Reppublicans.

[angelina247]

CJla, are we doing good in Iraq? I would defer answering that until you ask the 1 million + family members of Iraqis who have died in Iraq. Are we helping now?? Of course - because American soldiers always help. But our efforts should have gone to capturing Osama and not settleing a score for GWB.

Thank you for your response. Anyhow, I will quote what Dennis Prager said, "It is obviously impossible to fight every evil in the world" he goes on to say, "What kind of idea do you have? To either take all the evils on the Earth or none of them." So,are we actually doing good in Iarq? I am guessing your answer will be "Yes, right?
