    @omooex

    b>omooex: "people like this, who seek to calmly and rationally explain the necessity of killing tens of thousands Arabs"

    Another total fabrication, and again another gross misrepresentation of my position.

    By the way and for the record: I strongly opposed our going into Iraq, which I regarded as anything but necessary.

    omooex: "or at least seek to exonerate those who called for such acts"

    I didn't and do not defend Friedman's position on the Iraq war which I disagree with.

    omooex: "They do know better and just don't care."

    If you think I don't care about what we've done in Iraq, or about what's going on in Israel/Palestine, or about our substantial and ongoing adverse contributions as Americans (that is if you, like me, are an American) are to the Israel/Palestine conflict, then you've once again completely misread what I've been saying.
