Wrong on all counts, jpk.

I have no position on JFK other than that he was a politician and I have no doubt that he committed some horrible crimes. I know LBJ committed some horrible crimes. I have mixed feelings about Nixon.

I would not excuse the behavior of the Germans or the Japanese during WWII, which by the way, the behavior of the US, with it's invasion of a sovereign country that didn't pose an imminent threat, most closely resembles. I do not "exuse" the behavior of terrorists. I only try to show how we are helping to create the problem of terrorism with our behavior, rather than to help eliminate it.

Enjoy your smugness now, Wolfgang... you'll have reason to feel differently soon enough, I'm sure.
