I suspect Mr Hersch, in his accusations about assassinations, is probably referring to the Special Ops and Predator strikes against Al Qaeda and Talaban in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

My point is this. I suspect Mr Hersch, in his accusations about assassinations, is probably referring to the Special Ops and Predator strikes against Al Qaeda and Talaban in Pakistan and Afghanistan. I consider these legitimate actions against enemy command and control.

And the more they align their party with hate and ignorance, the easier it gets to mock them and enrage them into showing the true nature of what they want to foist on everyone who isn't them.

I do plan to finish the job, as I said.

And when that's done, while the Democrats are busy dancing a victory jig, I got a shiv for their spine too.

FREM: Look, bad things got done by bad people, we all know this, and we can maybe learn from the freakin mistakes without having to dredge up stuff so horrific our very social fabric would come to shreds because it's very foundations would utterly disintegrate if the truth were known.

I have utter faith the the American people not to care unless it's THEIR bread that's been shit on.

That's one of the weak points of Serenity. They (crew of Firefly) seem to think that if the truth is disseminated people will rise up on their hinds legs and demand change. We've been doing this kind of crap for years. DECADES. We killed millions of people in Vietnam in the "free fire" zone that we made out of the Delta.

YAWN!

We supported evey kind of torture and depravity that Somoza and Pinochet and The Shah of Iran could inflict on their societies.

SNORE!

We gave money and arms to Suharto so that he could massacre 200,000 people, and the only thing Kissinger was worried about was whether or not his fingerprints were on it or not.

Whuuuhh???


We killed about 100,000 people in Iraq, but I don't see many wringing their hands over lost lives.


Peeps like Rapo, Geezer, and Finn will find a way to deny. Most Americans really wouldn't care. Hell, look at the big yawn tha New Orleans got after Katrina! The only thing that would happen is that OTHER countries would demand accountability. If some of them (China, Australia, UK and EU) made their continuing support of our currency part of the demand for an investigation or (worse) punished us after-the-fact by dumping our currency...

THEN there would be a problem! But not before.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
