conversely, only a fool would try to deny facts.

You have no 'alternative' view points...just wild ramblings and insults to ruin my thread.

One person's facts are another person's fantasy. Your rhetoric and constant barrage of hostile anti-Western/U.S. posts and your consistent inability to admit any short comings in your own views makes it difficult if not impossible to have a meaningful discussion. If your only intent in this forum is to bash the U.S. then I am more than happy to ruin your threads.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. You want to knock down the U.S., then be ready to defend your own way of life. I have made no wild accusations in this thread, just said things you don't want to hear.
