42. You've not always been clear on your opinion....

So, I appreciate your clearly stating your view.

It is a large point of disagreement between us that you see US Govt. Policy as so much purer than those of the Dictators that "We in the West" have sustained for years and whose Governments we recently have been in the process of overthrowing with our Think Tank Marketed "Color Coded Revolutions" and "Springs" largely funded and helped along by our NGO's and organizations "Promoting Democracy" which are front groups for "Policy Ops of the Think Tanks."

Our intervention has caused, and is continuing to cause, the killing and maiming of children, elderly and other innocents with the use of torture, bombs, drones, depleted uranium munitions & white phosphorus. Plus the continuing death, destruction, dislocation of families who have lost their homes, businesses and livlihoods who have had no part in the politics of it all. Our policies of "Regime Change" dictated by the influence of "Special Interest Think Tanks" (some now revealed as Foreign Funded), Wall Street and Global Investment interests are WMD of another kind and they are paid for with our tax dollars and in our name.

So...we will disagree about who has the worst WMD and has used them on innocents. And I mean "Western Interests" not just USA...but our "Coalitions of The Willing" and it goes all the way back to rule of the British Empire whose influence we still suffer the consequences of.

But, always interested to hear other view points and yours. No hard feelings with fellow DU'ers unless they are rude or participating in uninformed personal attacks. 's to you.
