Sorry if I misread you. It didn't seem general when you followed it with the next sentence which seems like you were saying Bush and Cheney are so motivated: >>i'd say reading biographys (plural) is a very good suggestion as to understanding the motivations of gwb & cheney cuz a leopard doesn't change his spots...>> Then you wrote: > no certainly not...but our govt (both parties btw) foreign policies have > been the cause of problems as much as the solutions...is this not true? does > anyone believe the us govt has been faultless in this area? No, and I think more people are becoming more educated and starting to think about US policy over the years these days. > i am not sure how the above relates to anything i wrote in my post... This is what you wrote in your previous post: >yes & it seems to me that same logic seems to apply to many in this country >as well...attrocities have been commited by our country & other countries ad >nasueum...when do we call a hault to this kind of blaiming & finger pointing >& war mongering & start working on real solutions...starting with having >some basic understanding of other cultures would be a nice start... >the above statement can apply to many people who sign up for a military service... Maybe I am reacting too much and reading too much into it all but this seems to follow along the U.S.'s equivalency with terrorists statements made here a number of times. I do see a difference between the U.S. conducts itself on many levels and the way that terrorists conduct themselves. I see now that you are including both political parties in the equation as far as the problem and the solution. I apologize if you have included other political parties before as having accountability. Kakki
