I must say, your "reads" on history are amusing, including your
recitation of the plot of the movie "Tora, Tora, Tora," (one of my
favorites), and your assertion that all the wars of the 20th century in
which the U.S. was directly involved were somehow the fault of
presidents of the Democratic Party. Perhaps that sort of thinking is the
result of reading a book or two without the discipline imposed by formal
instruction, reading lists, and intensive discussion one might find in
decent, college-level, liberal arts courses, eh?

I recall a college-level class in German in which someone posited that
the reason Germany had been involved in so many horrific wars, including
WWII, had *only* to do with that nation's desire to extend its geography
to "protect" German nationals in other countries, and to create a buffer
for the homeland. Well, of course, that was hogwash, and fellow was
hooted in class for the day. I think it might have been the instructor
who said that, actually. He was a German ex-pat, and though he was far
too young to have been involved in WWII, he apparently took some of what
Hitler had "speechified" to heart.

In any event, I enjoy your dissertations...for a while, anyway.

You never pointed out anything I said that was not true.

Oh, really? Gosh. Well, then, let's post an example that shoots your
comment about U.S. wars in the 20th Century/Democratic presidents to
hell in a handbasket.

How about...the *first* Gulf War, kinda planned in the Reagan
misadministration and planned for real and executed in the G. H. W. Bush
administration.

How many Americans died in the first gulf war?

What? Are you now claiming that the first gulf war doesn't count as a
war stated under a Republican president because not enough Americans died?

It is the excuse you guys use when anyone wants to bring up Kosovo,
Haiti or Somalia.

Well, of course, because in everything important, Kosovo, Haiti, and
Somalia, and the first Gulf War are all equivalents in the non-critical
loonytarian mind.
