      No, you're justifying it because you're a paid government toady. It's remarkable that you're argument is that history is the same as our present situation, but I understand why you can't deal with the situation happening now... it's called cognitive dissonance, and I'm sure it's extremely uncomfortable for you. Not only does history not justify what's happening now, as I said before, but they aren't even similar situations. Arming and assisting a PRESENT enemy is treason.

        You and your conspiracy theories are amusing to me.

        It's remarkable that you have to exaggerate the differences while completely misrepresenting what I said. My whole point is that the US has a history of arming guerillas that turn against us when we have outlived our usefulness to them.

        It's called understanding war, which you obviously can't do from that ivory tower you spend all day in.

        What present enemy are we arming and why?

          He might be referring to things like these.

              Cognitive dissonance is not a conspiracy theory lol. It's a psychological way of dealing with a conflict. You work for government (and from what I understand, military aspects of government), so it's a psychological conflict for you to criticize or find fault in the fact that government is assisting, funding and arming the very same enemy that orchestrated 911. It's also known as bias. Bias is not a conspiracy theory, stupid.

              Whether there are historical similarities or not is not the point of the thread, so your point is irrelevant to the thread. Just because it happened in the past doesn't matter because it doesn't justify it happening now. It wasn't excusable then and it isn't excusable now. So attempting to point out where it happened before is moot.

              What present enemy are we arming and why?
              It has been thoroughly covered in the OP.

                      It’s a political statement about the present shape America is in. It's not the same thing as having blind loyalty and/or bias in favor of American military policy because I’m employed by its government. It’s not even in the same ballpark.

                        Is so -- you're a pinko commie liberal and it shows in your titling! (Do you REALLY think anybody takes your crap seriously, Sean?)

                            Apparently you do because you keep responding

                            I backed up why I believe America is in that shape with much documented information in the OP. I don't think you would disagree that America is presently in bad shape in regards to its current international relations and dealings (in fact, I remember you started a thread with similar subject matter). So, if I have bias, it's justified with facts.

                                It's a glaring fault of mine -- I also responded to Mickiel.
