If my posts are drivel, then why do you bother posting to me?

To try to force you to stop lying. For example:

And your The U.S. incinerated 100,000 Japanese in one night in Tokyo is a bunch of garbage...making up facts, doesn't make it so!

You are either remarkably naive or a liar. And I suspect both. Here's the history of that attack:

The attack occurred at night on March 9, 1945. 300 B-29s dropped napalm bombs on the wooden city and 16 sq. miles of Tokyo were obliterated in a huge firestorm. Estimates vary, but 100,000 is the figure used by Japanese officials. Women and children were roasted alive and burned by the oil in their own bodies. And you think Saddam was the worst butcher ever? In comparison U.S. General Curtis LeMay, Saddam was humane.

We aren't always the good guys, here's an ignoble history of U.S. atrocities:

Think about. What if the Chinese were approaching Atlanta, and in order to spare themselves casualties, they burned the city down... Ooops, sorry, I meant the Northern Army of Occupation, not the Chinese.... <g>

Why do I respond to your drivel? Because it ought to be disputed in a decent society.
