I'll resist, mostly, going against my promise to Lurk to settle down about MURDERERS WE'VE ELECTED. Oops, my blurt. The above article shows Noam doing what I cannot do without fuming: he shows our tawdry American policies under Dems and Repugs in an easily read shorthand. Read it and weep. Probably, if you're a weepy type, you're already up on this history, but I found it bracing and clarifying to revisit. If Richard comes on strong and supports this history as the proper thing for Americans to have done, I may have to break my vow to Lurk. This Mideast history is as bad as the history of the American slavery era or the Nazi genocidal policies. And, Richard I have fully answered your "abortion defense," so don't even try that ruse again without going over my topic-of-abortion posts point by point. You can't get more spiritual than Satan . . . meaning Satan does major sinning which necessarily involves the subtle realms, and killing millions in the Middle East or gassing 6,000,000 Jews or raping the entire continent of Africa for slaves descends to that lowest of levels and surely is a devastating spiritual crime that must be atoned by American comeuppance of extreme degree. 2012 seems to be properly timed, yes?
