Reply #59: Yikes. Listen to yourself, Magistrate. Even Chomsky and Parenti disagree! [View All]

Those two have written books on the details of American foreign policy and have spent their careers getting a lot of things right. AND THEY DISAGREE. So quit flaming du-ers and rolling your eyes.

So you've done some work yourself. Great. Thanks for sharing. Calling other du-ers who are concerned about the issue 'perverse minds' or 'simple, fearful' etc. is totally unwarranted.

Any source that is cited isn't 100% correct all the time but that doesn't mean the source has no validity anywhere ever.

Post #22 is my principal response to the issue from this (Sat.) morning. I just came back from the protest in SF to find more of this 'what the hell does he know? You must be an idiot so shut up' attitude.
Hey, a reminder: We're on the same side here.

By the way, during today's march in SF, one of the call-and-response items was the name of a member of the BushCo administration bullhorned ("Cheney!") with the crowd responding "War Criminal!"
And included with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice, and Rove's names was the name Wesley Clark. I mention this to remind you that he is not easily accepted as a legit candidate by many, rightly or wrongly, and he is worthy of LENGTHY AND DETAILED DISCUSSION.

Now I'm going to go do some more reading on NATO in Kosovo...
