“not hardly.
The plan would fall well short of the 80,000 troops that Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, suggested as a "low-risk option" that would offer the best chance to contain the Taliban-led insurgency and stabilize Afghanistan.
It splits the difference between two other McChrystal options: a "high-risk" one that called for 20,000 additional troops and a "medium-risk" one that would add 40,000 to 45,000 troops.”

“Excellent post. I especially like "radical warped ideology of elitists to preserve their elitism..."
How can you expect them to contribute to the common good when their entire focus is on keeping all their money and getting rid of government?

“Yes, it's that herd mentality thing all Republicans seem stricken with. I find it a mystery of modern science that they all manage to walk upright despite not have spines. We won't even go there with the other deficits...... compassion for those less fortunate, etc.”

“What is it about the GOP that it attracts people like this? MO is often about how to instill fear in the electorate. Irresponsible. Not the leadership you would expect from a candidate for Congress.”

“This is perhaps the most shocking of all (besides the loss of life): he was a psychiatrist! I wonder what provisions there are to provide therapy to those whose primary mission is to help others?”

“I am repeating myself, but mental health care workers frequently buckle under the stress. Psychiatrists have a high rate of suicide compared to other professionals, maybe the highest rate.”
Gin1234 replied on Nov 05, 2009 at 19:06:25
“Often, mental health professionals are supposed to have the answers and are never expected to be human and get sick themselves. People have unrealitic expectations of them being superhuman. And it is also probably hard as a psychiatrist to trust others to know better than her/him about himself and about what will help you.”

“This is a big problem. Americans, for the most part (or at least the ones I know) are largely ignorant about socialism and especially how it is working currently around the world.
Conservatives simply see it as more government interference in their lives (their irrational fear of "losing" their freedom) which translates as onerous restrictions of all kinds and a mechanism whereby their hard earned money is "unfairly" taxed ("Why do I have to pay ANY taxes?") and "given" to those who have been simply too lazy or too stupid to make their own bundle of cash. For those who are drowning (and that includes a lot of hard-working blue and white collar workers), well, that's simply not their concern, i.e., let 'em drown.”
