How the Heck the neocons expect to fit 1946 Germany into an analogy useful to their agenda eludes me - 1963 Viet Nam fits far better, for a multitude of reasons Carl has laid out in detail ..... conditions in Europe, not just Germany, were indeed horrendous after the war, this is not an uncommon state following greatly destructive struggle .... but now we are not looking at 'after' the US-Iraq 'war', it has only just got rolling

Anyway, only the title of the dos Passos piece serves the neocon's use, 'We are losing the peace' or something [from memory] .... dP may not have put that header on it even, rather the Life editors .... and if he did write it, whoop-de-doo, you'll still notice a total absence of US casualties from guerrillas ..... so many posts you're putting up, just because you don't like Carl sussing out the Heck connection, lol

Hi Brumar89; Re: "Why don't you just go to the blog and email them if you're interested?"

Uh, someone named "Bruce" already did, LOL.

Hey, the fact that you don't care about my ripping the mask off of Jessica's Well is hardly news. There are always people who don't care where they get their information. In fact, there's amazing human variation in every form of the ability to digest BS. For example, in the movie "Pink Flamingoes", an actor eats fresh dog doo:
deadrabbit.org

"What's the worst thing that can happen to me when I eat ..."
angelfire.com

But back on topic, one reason why you might have been interested in Douglas Heck's connection to Jessica's [Oil]Well is that he DOES have a connection to our policy against terrorism, at least for a year:

U.S. Department of State

Heck, Louis Douglas (1918- )
Foreign Service officer
1959 Chargé d'Affaires ad interim, Nepal
1960 Chargé d'Affaires ad interim Cyprus
1974 Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Niger
1976 Director, Office for Combatting Terrorism
1977 Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Nepal
