you behaved very condescendingly towards Kev, I'm sure he's just glowing red with enjoyed embarrassment wherever he is.  If I called you a supercillious prick who'e never seen anything of the world, would you be drooping in your cups? PM

  Had work to do, and couldn't devote that much energy to this palaver.

  Will it matter to you, if I respond?  Calling the US response "aggression" already stacks the deck. You don't call Khobar Towers bombing aggression. You don't describe Lebanese factional fighting as internecine clan aggression. You don't talk about Iraq's aggression. Or Libya's aggression. It seems the only entity that commits aggression is the US.

  By all means, search for studies of uranium hexafluoride as a toxin. If you look at nonpolitical sites, you will find that battlefields are too complex to statistically separate the effects of the metal. You will find that studies are ongoing. And you will find that there are plenty of propaganda "fact sheets" available to scare the uncritical. If you merely want to prop up your contentions, go to an Iraqi site.

  Explain why I should bother to write a long post defending US foreign policy. You don't seem to understand statecraft, or that power will always fill a vacuum, regardless of whose power or whose vacuum it is. You show no willingness to deal with complexities. It's just the same old tired ranting. When I refute your factual errors, you dismiss them, pretending that the real issue is the overview. When refuted in the overview, you fall silent and prepare your next poorly considered tirade.

  I'm sorry you are so unhappy with your life. But your inciting to revolution can only make your life that much more miserable, thwarting what may be the potential of a reasonably intelligent person.
