...and, like SH, Marcos was supported by Washington.

I’ve always thought that this was a silly criticism, true twenty years ago,
during the Iran/Iraq war we supported Hussein as the lesser of two evils,
you act as if we furnished his palace and rolled out the red carpet. We
often have dealings with foreign leaders with whom we disagree, I really
don’t see the point.
|
Well, the point is that to justify his choice to invade Iraq, Dubya condemned
Hussein for using chemical and biological weapons against his enemies and his
own people. Dubya did not mention that these were the very same weapons and
delivery systems that the US had supplied to Saddam.
|
Nor does he mention Washington’s “inaction” at the time; did the washington not
block a UN motion condemning SH?

Some of these things are a matter of culture. I’m sure they find the US
porn industry just as offensive.
|
Agreed, although if they find US porn offensive, they would flip their lids
at some of that European stuff, our porn is relatively mild.
|
No way! American porn is second to none! Now that’s patriotism!
|
No, some say it is second only to Scottish Haggis.
