it's hard enough to communicate with you under he best of circumstances. without a full keyboard, it is ridiculous. Your insistence on a narrow focus i focus on narrow points here because cacophony central is not a suitable venue for multifaceted discussions. i try for small understandings, to move forward incrementally. inappropraite use of negative & positive spin is the real issue. you will never understand someone like me. partisans spin. i don't spin. i have no motive to spin. my interest is in insight. i get it by turning things over and over by myself and by bouncing things off others. to attempt to give legitimacy to dangerous self interests of those countries opposed to the war, while you attacked the US appropriate self interest with negative, deceptive spin. i was doing no such thing. what you saw was an attempt to analyze whether pursuit of self interest applies to all countries or just to the united states. germany was just a proxy country. i wasn't legitimizing dealing arms with saddam.
