>>We both know that israels attack on THE USS Liberty was premeditated, and used as a means to conceal it intentions.<< First, under the theory I have presented, yes, it was intentional, and therefore "premeditated." Where we part company is that I believe a sovereign nation, during wartime, has every right and may use every means to "conceal its intentions." The U.S. has the right now to "conceal its intentions" regarding how it wishes to proceed in Afghanistan, and if an Israeli spy ship appears off the coast to illicitly "listen in" to what the U.S. is planning or doing, it would be quite right to sink the ship. A true ally does not spy on another ally during wartime by sending a spy ship into wartime territorial waters. You seem to have a much higher opinion of LBJenocide than I do--I am of the Vietnam generation, and consider him the greatest mass murderer in U.S. history. He was almost always up to no good, and did not know how to keep out of other countries' wars. My view on this is harsher than that of McNamara, Reagan, and all investigatory panels. You want to disagree with me, fine. That is your opinion, and your right. It is not my style, if I disagree with someone to label their opinion a "lie", even if I think it is quite wrong.
