[aarons cc: | aaron] British Resolve? I Wouldn’t Count On It.: Given that FDR didn’t divert a single bomb to derail train tracks going to the death camps, there is PLENTY of American WWII policy I have problems with, most of which I ascribe to the precursors of today’s State Department and their British spiritual fathers who romanticized the Arabs and anywhere else they were stationed.

[Fff.org] Hornberger's Commentary - July 2005: Now, ask yourself: If the British colonists hated what their own government officials were doing to them, to the point of becoming insurgents and, well, “terrorists” (according to British officials) and rebels and violent revolutionaries who shot and killed their own military officials, then why in the world would anyone expect the Iraqi people to react any differently to what is arguably even worse tyrannical conduct, especially when it is being committed by foreign (U.S) troops?
