That's a cute debating tactic, John, but from the beginning of this argument
you implied that the U.S. was morally superior so unless you came out and said
that "I don't think that the U.S. is morally superior" then the rest of us
have to assume that you are arguing on behalf of the U.S. As in the following
quote from one of your posts:
"Fine Doug, the US and Russia are morally equivalent.
PLEASE - GO LIVE THERE!
Oh wait, so maybe the US isn't as Russia-like as you implied...... good,
then lets end the sophistry. You're kind of moral relativism is not only
dangerous, but would reduce the United States to moral relativism, unable
to intervene at all in the area of world affairs."
