OT: Strictly Tongue Firmly in Cheek, OR, How can this guy be soooo cheeky? Rolly, Delighted I can get a guffaw out of you. But, please, ignore me, I'm pleading wid ya. For those, unlike Rollcastrato, who might care to indulge in the truth of terrorism, there's a quick read in the oeuvre of one Mr. Christopher Hitchens called "The Trial of Henry Kissinger". amazon.com Granted, it is tendentious, tortuous and tart, but tweeps like me dig this stuff. The truth. Yikes. Something Roll-o-dexatrim probably views as a highly improbable and hypothetically upsetting commodity. Could it be that the class of '70, Kissinger, Scowcroft and Eagleburger actually had roles to play in the destruction of the Allende regime in Chile, the genocide of East Timor, the blind eye to Tiannemen's atrocities, the immoral extension of the Viet Nam War, and the destruction of Cypriot democracy? Well.... no. Only Kissinger is fully implicated in all of these episodes. The other two stalwarts of GOP foreign policy are merely the supporting cast in Kissinger and Associates. The best greasers money can buy. Especially if you want entre to any repressive rightwing regime on the planet. They're connected. Retainers starting at $200K per annum. Don't delay. Rolly, what can I do to get you to put me back on ignore? More?..... don't tempt me. Angola, Grenada, Nicaragua, Diego Garcia....doncha just love this state terror game? And the hypocrisy it involves? Salaams, Ray
