This is the wrong thread for this topic so let's take it to PM or a political thread if you wish to continue.

Your last post is so full of holes though that I wouldn't know where to start. The US armed Iraq when we were against Iran in the 70s. We were also the first to back Castro and he only went to the Soviet side when we abandoned him. As for the middle east, those regimes would have been dead long ago if we didn't arm them to the teeth to keep the population under the control of a small family empire that promised us Oil.

Get out of the popular press and read some political science books or some books/speeches by ex CIA heads etc. Our hands are a lot more dirty than you realize. I suppose you think Kennedy was a great President too, especially his civil rights record. -ggg-

Believe what you want, most of America does. This conversation has already gone past where I wanted to. My point was only that the US will always have an enemy to fuel defense spending, research and to keep an "us vs them" attitude.

Good Luck,

Lee
