Reply #28: Very sorry to hear that

[MikeH]

I am very sorry to hear that about somebody you thought wasn't that bad.

Earlier this year I ended a 30 year friendship with someone who voted for * a second time, felt the Iraq war was the right thing to do, and, if I remember correctly, didn't seem to be bothered about torture (I don't remember exactly why).

One thing he said that really bothered me was that it was OK that we didn't find the weapons of mass destruction because intelligence is not an exact science. To me that sounded like an excuse for somebody who is "his type" of president. My friend is a fundamentalist Christian, but I had not previously thought of him as fitting the worst stereotypes of people of that persuasion.
