Emphasis mine.
I spent almost 3 months destroying lives over in Qatar. I think if you spent 3 months away from your lover (sorry, do not know her name), fighting for the
strong beliefs of someone else that turn out to be lies and the arbinger of ever-increasing violence and destruction, and knowing you are personally responsible for said violence and destruction, then I think you'd slightly consider having respect for those
strong beliefs.
IOW, you still respect Bush for shitting all over your homosexuality? To each their own, I suppose, but it doesn't seem to make sense to me, or many others. Especially having actually been there nearly first-hand and realizing I was lied to, taken advantage of, and a myriad of other words for a
"respectable" belief completely lacking any validity whatsoever.
