   @Night-Gaunt49“Some more articulate please.”

   Oh the irony…

   “I wonder how many women would like to use a shot gun on every male, and some females who use that B word?…"

   I wonder how many women use veiled threats of violence in their comments on Gocomics.com? Besides you, that is…

   @annieb1012I agree that in many instances it’s better to use a more civilized alternative to a coarse word. However, Night-Gaunt49 seems to be confusing the use of what I’d consider to be an entirely appropriate epithet in this case, applied to a specific (fictional) individual, with, for example, the way some rappers use the word in a more general sense as a synonym for “woman.” I’d advise her (I’m assuming, confidently, that Night-Gaunt49 is a “her”) to pick and choose her battles.

   What epithet for this loathsome assistant would be more appropriate and/or less offensive to you? I’m asking sincerely.

   “The wars in Iraq…were not of our chosing. Remember 9-11? Or have you forgotten already??”

   Oh yes, of course. Iraq was responsible for the attacks. The hijackers were Iraqis. Oh wait… No, that’s not right – NONE of them were. Most were from Saudi Arabia. Our allies. The most repressive government in the region.

   Well, OK, so Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. But we had to prevent them from using all those WMDs that they had stockpiled, right?… OH, wait a second – THERE WEREN’T ANY!

   But hey, if they had had weapons, I betcha they would have used them against us. So we were right to invade their country. Served ’em right for what they were thinking…

   I was joking, hence the following sentence starting with the word “Seriously.” Sorry if that was unclear.

   I’m sure there were also people centuries ago who thought smallpox or polio would be with us forever. If humankind makes it a priority to eliminate warfare, we can do it.

   I heard Iraq veteran and author Paul K. Chappell being interviewed recently on the radio. A retired military man, he believes that humans are not inherently warlike, and that an end to warfare is entirely possible. I’m eager to read more of what he has to say on the subject.

   Yes, the latter. :)

   In what way? I’m genuinely baffled by this comment.

    Here goes Trudeau, promoting his liberal agenda again…

    Seriously, I agree with previous posters: Here’s hoping that violent combat will become a thing of the past, perhaps even in our lifetime. Iraq veteran Paul K. Chappell thinks it’s possible, and is devoting his post-military life to working toward an end to warfare. http://www.paulkchappell.com/
