But you nevertheless find the Bush administration guilty of criminal negligence. A crime of omission, if you will. Failure to do their duty in accord with their obligation and commitment to the nation. As you know, I go further than this. I believe their gross negligence, in fact, was not negligence at all but complicity. A crime of commission, in other words. Since the Bush administration and its supporters were the greatest, in fact, the only, beneficiaries of the crime, I have to believe that this incredibly serendipitous circumstance (that by gross negligence one can arrive at good fortune and the fulfillment of one's dreams) did not come about by chance but by design. > With America doing her dirty work, Israel's security is assured. That's a myth. Israel's problem is not a military one but a demographic one --- there aren't enough Jews any more to satisfy the expansionist fantasies of Zionism. They may have all the money and control of the greatest military power in the world --- but to what end?! As I see it, Israel has embarked on an exercise in futility. Instead of having a small country which could be successful and happy, they want a big country and thereby have engaged in wars/terrorism for their whole history. What a life! And for what?! We saw the same thing in South Africa where a handful of whites wanted the whole place for themselves and ended up losing everything, certainly their "fatherland" and all notions of exclusivity and superiority. > I note that Powell has acknowledged some small mistakes were made in his presentation before the U.N. Well, one step at a time. Do you think there is any hope the top liar and his coaches will similarly recant some of their more outrageous assertions/lies? Those guys can do anything. Their lies and deceit are boundless. But that's what they are there for and that's what We the People want --- to see the "baddies" get away with it. If it wasn't, We the People would do something about it. And, as you and I both know, We don't and We won't.
