That site is about the biggest bunch of propaganda I have ever seen.

Thomas, You and those of your ideological ilk disappoint me. You are obviously intelligent and well-written, yet your arguments lack any coherent, logical thought. Including those believed to have died a) in Iraq as a result of UN sanctions and b) in Sudan due to lack of pharmaceuticals is fallacious. An analogy would be to state that lawsuits against GM regarding "side-saddle" gas tanks are responsible for global warming, because GM was forced to take money out of it's R&D budget (which is focusing on hybrid engines) to pay settlement costs. You cannot see through your world view into reality, and it affects your ability to persuade others dramatically.

How about this conclusion from the terrorism site you refer to? causes-of-terrorism.net "If the United States is to continue its war on terrorism, it should perhaps aim its war not at Osama Bin Laden or Iraq (what many predict is next on the U.S.’s list), but rather at itself. It is only by eradicating its status as the world’s leading terrorist state, that the U.S. can eradicate terrorism." A real convincer, that one! The site above is sponsored by World Prosperity, Ltd. Here is another WPL gem: "our present government-controlled, compulsory education system was largely brought about by wealthy industrialists who were afraid of a revolution similar to the one that occurred in the Soviet Union. They wanted to control the working class and make them a group of obedient followers." world-prosperity.org (Didn't compulsory public education exist for decades before the Bolshevik revolution?)

Thomas, I am so surprised that you did not cite this URL in your position that the U.S. is to blame for Death throughout the world. secretsituation.com This site is frequently referred to by spokesman for Hamas, Sadaam Hussein, and the Society for Luftwaffe Veterans. SLV also condemns the U.S. military for wanton disregard of German fighter pilot lives in WWII. Search the luftwaffe.net site for impartial interviews by the German press during that time. Oppressive U.S. government policies that interfere with nature's food chains is also being protested by the American Mosquito Breeders Association, West Nile Division (West Nile, OH). "Don't bug us!", they demand. ebugs.us
