Believe me this isn't a joke. Forget Bush. If Gore was President it would still be happening. The CIA and FBI didn't make up the WTC. They are guilty of a lot of things, but this isn't one of them. I am no fan of the CIA, I don't like them. IMO they are a bunch of drunken cowboys. IMO our country lost it's way, but that doesn't mean that things that happen shouldn't happen. Assassination is a useful tool, but unfortunately the wrong people are doing the dirty deeds. They have killed the wrong people in a lot of cases. I can't answer why that is so, but it is so.

John Kerry has a lot to answer for, he was a tool. I am not against the killing, but I am against killing the wrong people.

I was very angry about certain things I knew about 34 years ago, and I had a lot of arguments because of it. I didn't object to the action in general, but who it was done against. When I came back, it caused a lot of problems with me and my father. He was a genuine war hero from ww2, but he couldn't accept what I was telling him.

Even with all that, IMO the war was the right thing to do, and I would go back in a hearts beat if it was 1968 again.

People are people, they're the same all over the world, and they all want freedom. Whatever mistakes we make we make, If the end result is freedom, believe me the people are happy.

Capitalism may or may not be good (who really knows?) but so far the results show that it is the way to go. No other way has done as much for the common man as capitalism has done. No other way than freedom for the average guy has done as much for him either.
