Or you could just be bullshitting and managed to write down one propaganda
spin from CNN.

Your juvenile response and cheerleading for someone who can actually
articulate and justify your ideological twist on the world shows that you
are a follower and not a leader. So pipe down and let Roger and Glen
continue their debate.

I personally think they are both missing some important points and Roger in
particular (while having a very rational and well thought-out stance on the
issues) is lacking some historical context. Glen's focus on US complicity in
terrorism and hypocracy is an important, but limited point of argument. He
needs to expand the basis of his critique by pointing out that American
objectives are not simply defensive as Roger believes, but are also
motivated by the goals of imperial expansion and control - not just
yesterday as the Chilean and Nicaraguan examples so vividly display, but
also today and into the future. Bush's financial and ideological backers in
the religious right (ie. Pat Robertson) have investments in the diamond
industry in Liberia - should be interesting to see how this plays out.
