"By all means, if you don't have an argument -or an answer to my evidence that you are a mere apologist, a "useful idiot," for slavery and white supremacy - abuse the plaintiff."

Read the past thread were you gave no evidence that America is so unique that of all the countries to ever exist on the planet Earth, only the exceptional USA needed a war to end slavery. I gave all kinds of evidence. Even though the war was over the tariff anyway, and not slavery until it was convenient for the president who started it; you still can not justify it on the slavery angle because every other country in the world did it without war.

Damn! Just like Bush II, the reason for the war change as the war went on. Imagine that!

LWM, your little smears are the work of a seriously sick person. Seek help. Were you not "done here" a while ago? It has been so serious and informative here while you were in hiding. Coincidence? (I think not)

"But the South started and fought the war anyway, and in due course, got their asses whipped." -- Derbig Mooser

Another factual inaccuracy. You two are full of them. Please use Google and find Ft. Sumner. What state is it in?

Next you will say that Grenada stated that war by vertue of its geographical location. My God! Look, where they put there land! Invade! (and so Mr. Ray-gun did)

No war is a "good war". None.

As you wish.

Too bad someone always shows up to disrupt threads that you start that shows the central government's actions for what they are. Someone asked if it is coincidence. I think not.

Me: No war is a "good war". None

You: Well then, there isn't any disagreement, is there?

I think there is a large disagreement. You see, several here, and one in particular, do not belive my statement. They believe we have had "good wars" in the past and will have more in the future. They further believe that we have had secular saints in the white house that led us in times of these "good wars". I do not.

I guess I believe "evil is as evil does" just as I believe "stupid is as stupid does".

As an example, recent historical revisionism shows that Mr. Carter had a lot to do with the Russian/Afghanistan war and may even have been the catalist. Damn! Not my Jimmy! But, sadly there it is; his administration started a black opp in Afghanistan that led to the invasion by Russia.

If one opens their eyes they will see that power corrupts men; even Americans and the presidency is a powerful office.

On to today's topic. Glenn's investigation of the Anthrax mess is a great example of corrupt men using the event to launch a war against innocent women and children. That was the whole purpose of the exercise; war.

My friends over at the World Socialist Web Site weigh in on the train Glenn got started. Or at least help get started. I am not a socialist, but they have been reliably accurate on governmental misdeeds over these last 7 years.

One week after an Army germ warfare scientist apparently committed suicide, there are mounting questions over the government’s handling of the investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks and expressions of skepticism regarding the sensationalized media coverage of the past four days.

Colleagues and friends of Dr. Bruce Ivins, who died Tuesday from an overdose of prescription Tylenol he had taken two days earlier, have cast doubt on the claims by the FBI and Justice Department that Ivins perpetrated the anthrax attacks. They have also debunked many of the claims made in initial news reports about Ivins’ death.

Ivins’ lawyer, Paul Kemp, sent an email to news organizations Saturday denouncing reports that his client was considering a plea bargain to avoid a death sentence for the anthrax mailings, calling such reports “entirely spurious.” Kemp had been contacted by federal investigators—the FBI interviewed Ivins several times over the past year as well as searching his home—but there was no discussion of a possible plea.

"Did it change enough to keep us truly safe? I'd bet not. After all, regulation is not their forte." -- Pedinska

Ouch! Now how can I open a package without sweating after that!

LMW writes,

"It's less than a year since Cheney thought dressing up SpecOps or SEALS or whatever as Iranians might be a good idea and we already know about it, and it didn't happen. Cooler heads prevailed, and even leaked it."

Thank goodness! But in which MSM papers/sites did this information appear? If it appeared at all it was very few, to my knowledge, and they certainly didn't dwell on such horrific news. To even suggest such a thing SHOULD be headline news everywhere.

Rouge elements, indeed!

-- LibertyGal

I think you missed his point. It was a simple minded point. If Cheney was overruled on one idea, then no false-flag operation has ever been done by the USA! As someone once said, for every complex problem there is a simple, yet wrong, answer.

You see, lwm believes that the USA is "exceptional" and its system will always prevent horrible things from happening. His doctors encourage this belief as it helps with his condition. :-)
