OT: Please follow with replies to the no politics board.
I think you need the reality check and to clean your glasses. The U.S. government mostly has never done anything to help defend anyone that it was not already in its best interest. Otherwise a lot of the problems around the world would have been solved long ago. The only pathetic thing is exactly what Theodore Roosevelt said back in 1918. Not criticizing Bush and the rest of the oil corporation at the white house.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." Theodore Roosevelt May 7, 1918
PS. If Zeev decides to move any posts to the no politics thread, then he should move ALL the related posts there. Not just play favorites and only move certain replies.
