Facts, You supported forcefull aplication of sales tax. Unless you 
have retracted your former statements wich are preserved in this 
forumn for any one who wants to go back and read them, admiting its 
error, you continue to support a limited use of force in 
circucmstances such as the forcefull aplication of sales tax. 

I never said you brought up Iraq, or Tarrifs for that matter, but 
the issue that I am maintaining is your support of the use of force. 
If I missed the post were you retracted your statements, and admited 
your error, please give the post number so I can go look, because if 
your no longer supporting force, I missed that notification.
