What a maroon! >>> >>> What a response. You are truly at the cutting edge of debate Sir. >> >> It is an observation that happens to be germane here. Want another >> one? 20:20 hindsight is perfect. I wasn't criticizing the actions. I was merely pointing out that following the enemy-of-my-enemy diplomacy has gotten us in trouble in the past. There was, at the time that that support was given, no reason not to believe it was a good idea. However, what I'm trying to get people to think about is that they might want to try to *learn* from past actions that come back to bite us. However, if you (or our Government, or anybody else) is so focused on not admiting a mistake was *ever* made, then of course we will never learn from the past. >> No, I don't.

Yep. And isn't it also ironic that the ouster of those very commies has been one of the destabilizing forces in the world that may well have furthered the current mess? Eric Lucas
