Al, It's as if you want everyone to accept that, because America has done good in the past, all past and future policy is righteous and should be supported without question. I see you're trying to steer the topic away from De Genova, who believes in the opposite, that all past and future American policy is evil and should be opposed, even if it means calling for the deaths of American soldiers. Of course, when he talks, he's being brave and courageous, and has a few grains of truth in his words. When Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh talk, they're being partisan and inflammatory. Gee, looks like we've come back to that "center of gravity" thing. In Somalia the cause was just. The warlord's followers made no distinction between America the humanitarian and the military attack on their compound. I never debated that. But our resolve was lacking. We underestimated how bad the hornet's nest really was. And we paid for it with American lives and a shameful retreat that has encouraged our enemies to this day. But hey, according to Prof. De Genova, that was a good thing. Obviously you don't agree. Tenchusatsu
