>But alas, there will always be people like George who try to use Anti-American demogoguery to claim the US is the root of evil in this world, or actively seeking to spread evil. I am now actively seeking to spread evil...evil George...thanks for the laugh! >re: Allende >the only thing the US could have done was to apply pressure to prevent it. I just find it unbelievable that you come up with this stuff! >In my view, we have NO OBLIGATION to treat any non-democratic state in a manner that we treat our allies. Say what! We treat many non-democratic states very well while turning a blind eye on our "democracy, freedom, human rights values". My point is that the people who live in these non-democratic states we support obvioulsy hate us a lot, so much in fact that they did what they did on the 11th. Maybe we should change our ways, that's my point. I could go on and on pointing holes in your arguments but I got better things to do today. Like watching the Detroit Lions on TV ( I know, I know, they suck) after three days of learning about death and taxes... We obviously disagree and that's fine, many people disagree with me, I am used to it. cheers George@spreadingevildaily.hel<g>

These are not my thoughts, but just stir the FADG pot a bit, here's a heretical thought, contrary to your idea that there is ultimate justification in "Democracies don't declare war on democracies": Message 16369420 "it seems very likely that if America had stayed out of World War I there would have been no World War II. And without that war and without a Soviet Union, there would have been no Cold War, no Korean War, no Vietnam War. The 20th century wouldn't have been an era of perfect peace, but it would have avoided being history's bloodiest 100 years"
