Anyone who cares to be informed probably is by now and I only want to occasionally rally the troops, so to speak, and in some small way increase the cohesiveness of the Truth (whatever that may be).

The apologists will continue to banter about why U.S. companies' contributions (allowed and approved by the Reagan administration) to Iraqi gas attacks is different than, say, I.G. Farben (link: dw-world.de who produced gases for the camps. There are those pictures of Rummy shaking hands with the infamous "butcher of Baghdad". Anyone who refuses to see the obvious parallels will dismissively disavow any responsibility, or they start talking about what Clinton did.

This is a false dichotomy. Clinton AND Reagan AND Bush AND Nixon AND Johnson could ALL have been wrong in aspects of their foreign policies. And when they acted outside of international law, were wrong. However, I don't think there will be much of a head of steam for prosecuting anyone because the U.S. does control the field. People of conscience still care.

Bush's grand-dad Prescott was one of the few people who could finance the Nazi's and funnel money to them. (link: guardian.co.uk And while I don't believe that the sins of the father should be visited upon the son (or grandfather/son/grandson, in this particular case), only an idiot wouldn't recognize that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, especially in powerful and connected ruling dynasties ... JMO.
