yeah, i suppose we can't blame the good doctor for all the nuts attracted to his campaign, but it should still give us pause.

Chalk me up as one of those nuts then.

then you should have edited it.

Why should he have edited something he didn't write? I dont' think that would have been a right thing to do.

he should only have quoted the parts he agreed with, and snipped the rest. Its not really that hard.

No actually he's raising quite a bit of money. Some of which came from me.

Simply put.

"The enemy of our enemy is our friend" is wrong. As is "The friend of our enemy is our enemy".

I didnt mean financially - he grew up on Park Avenue. I was expressing my pity - a genuinely intelligent man, surrounded by idiots.

Well i rather suspect you will find that he does not agree with you that we shouldnt have held the Taliban responsible for supporting Osama, and that he doesnt agree that China is the moral equivalent of Saddam.

I think you will have to go Kucinich or Sharpton to find someone whose views are in synch with the post that started this thread.

Yeah but I agree with a lot of what he has to say. Especially when he talks about getting rid of Bush.

IIUC, the 3 million represents the total Congolese death toll in their civil war. Were all of these civilians who were murdered? Werent many men under arms killed in war?

The vast majority of those killed in the "civil war," aka, invasion of the Congo by the aforementioned countries were hapless civilians. If even ten percent of those killed were soldiers all four countries and their rebel groups would be without armed forces.

And in the case of any who were killed by the rebel side - did Rwanda and Uganda approve of or support those actions?

Since their armies were in the filed committing these attorcities, it seems likely that someone i their governments approved.

Im not accusing countries that supported Saddam for Iraqi deaths - Im only accusing Saddam - just as I would not accuse the US for civilians murdered by Stalin during WW2.

Intentions matter, not just body counts.

In that case you should be willing to excuse the bodycounts of the Communist states, since they were unintended. Body counts matter more than intentions.
