I really want to argue with your whole viewpoint because I think it relies on a willful disregard for the facts. You speak of "parading around in underwear" when it is uncontested that US personnel beat and tortured detainees *to death*. You speak of "mass graves" under Saddam while ignoring the fact that the rate of violent deaths in Iraq increased during the US conquest and occupation. The movement to defend the Iraq war is proceeding exactly as the movement to defend Vietnam did: postulate some non-facts in an offhand manner and then draw false conclusions from them. A few years after Vietnam a frightening proportion of the population accepted the non- facts as reality. -- Vegetarians eat Vegetables, Humanitarians frighten me _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
