...but maybe, if we read carefully enough, we could instead assume,
based on your words, that none of us has any idea - maybe there are no
evil forces at all laughing.

Your wrong.

Prove it. Unless you know something that the rest of us non-CIA
operatives cannot... this is just an opinion.

And perhaps our government *hasn't* been
square with us. Wouldn't be the first time, nor, I'd wager, the last.

No government has ever been completely square with anybody.

I rest my case. And when a government isn't square, you question it
and challenge it.

I think it's rather weird to support a President on every position he
represents, whether we agree with that position or not. He isn't God,
for God's sake...just a fallible human, like you and me. This, without
even getting into the question of his generalized competency for the
job. Frankly, if he's wrong, he's WRONG and we have an obligation to
try to correct his path. We can argue about whether he is wrong until
doomsday, but eventually we must take the lead.

I don't support him on every position and frankly I support him on very
little but I do support him in regards to Iraq and the extremists Muslim
or
any other fanatical group that seeks our demise.

Iraq seeks our demise? OOO-Kay....then you may support him. I don't
take your assertions as the gospel, however, and thus I question and
challenge. "Iraq and the extremist Muslims" don't necessarily go
together, by the way - another assumption of convenience.

We condemn other peoples of history of marching lock-step with their
leaders down dubious paths, whether they be Fascist, Communist,
self-styled two-bit dictators or whatever. Should we not be more
circumspact when it comes to our own leaders so that we can at least
try to keep the worst parts of history from repeating themselves?

Just because some of us believe the only way to purge the planet of scum
is
to kill them off doesn't mean we blindly follow our leaders.

You side-stepped the question. It still stands, although you can
ignore it if your wish.

In any case - your definition of "scum" and mine *may* vary (in this
case it does, a little bit, although mostly it is the same), and -

If our leaders do not wisely choose their scum to purge, then we are
wasting our own time, our own people and our own money.

Good luck to you Bruce.
