Quehubo, Do you doubt that Franklin Roosevelt had advanced knowledge of the attack at Pearl Harbor and sat on that information so that a reluctant general population would be willing to commit to joining the Allies in WWII. There is ample proof that this is the case. Just one example of the world of moral ambiguity I know is more real than any schoolbook black and white version of history. How about the uncertainties still surrounding the sinking of the USS Maine in the Spanish colony of Cuba in 1898? Talk about ambiguity. And perhaps you believe the miraculous "single bullet" theory espoused by Arlen Specter in the Warren Report? I don't. I see ambiguity. The time will come for many who hide behind moral ambiguities and relativism of their own making to make a choice, honor or disgrace. You are coming across like a Marine drill sargeant who is trying to buck up an ill-informed recruit. It won't work here, Quehubo, for you see, I'm on to reading the General's words: chss.montclair.edu Smedley Butler was "invited" by some of Morgan's men to help remove FDR from office in 1933. Some patriotic bankers conspiring to perpetrate a coup d'etat. He blew the whistle, they got off. Too politically charged for FDR to expose the perps. Who's hiding behind moral ambiguities? Me? Sir, that is an insult. I'm merely pointing out to you that you do live in a world that is relativistic, that is not black and white, that is ambiguous and that is to be taken with a large grain of salt. Finally, isn't it amusing to you that two of the key "enemies" of our state today, Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein were both secretly supplied by our CIA? Does that strike you as ambiguous and relativistic, or what? -Ray :(
