Sun puts a civilized face on what are clearly anti american views. He would balk at that and claim that he was only anti-bush or anti-republican but in fact his objections go far deeper. He, Marcos and Jacob Snyder are the same guy. (g) They love to play moderate and let the geodes do the bashing. Sun thinks he is very, very smart.

I was not talking about articles he posts but his own personal contributions in pointing out logical fallacies or at least clearly stating reasonable varying perspectives. You seem to have a problem with each other. The two of you can slug it out to your heart's content. That is not something I care for. >> I note that you bolster his clearly extreme left wing position That is your opinion. At other circles I'd be considered too far right because of my libertarian bias and because I do not believe corporations should be taxed at all...but that is another debate. >> You seem to be a polite person Sun, but do you really think any one believes that alone makes you a moderate or objective person? In Lawrence of Arabia, there is a very interesting line from (then Prince) Faisal to a reporter: "For our good friend Lawrence, mercy is a passion. For me, it is merely good manners. You may judge for yourself which is the more reliable motive" At the time this line is said, Lawrence is a true hero and a fine gentleman. So one naturally smiles and sees this as praise of Lawrence. Later as war transforms him, Lawrence engages in most inhumane and bloody acts, to the extent that even his Arab allies and his British commanders are disgusted by him. Faisal however remains the same mild spoken shrewed neggotiator that he is and peace is made with him present and with Lawrence sent away...there is an answer for you somewhere in there, if you can find it.
