	Interesting analogy, Vanya. But probably not as you considered it. Why is it that we were able to bomb the fuck out of Japan and suffered zero blowback? Not one Japanese terrorist attack against us in 67 years? Not really much hatred for us either from Japan. And consider Vietnam. By some calculations 2 million Vietnamese died during our involvement there - both combatants and civilians. Where are the Vietnamese Al Qaeda groups plotting death for Satan America. Crickets. Blowback seems to be function not just of what we do.... but factor in certain, shall we say LUNATIC tendencies of the recipient peoples. culture is what it is, i guess - might have something to do w/ the fact that east asian cultures are relatively top-down driven, and once you assert your culture as dominant, the masses snap-to? middle eastern cultures have seen far more in the way of flavor-of-the-day empires drifting back and forth, breeding a sharper sense of defiance and less willingness to accept outside control? at any rate, begging your pardon, it's hard not to notice that those east asian cultures also were fine w/ suicide bombers, complete indifference to basic human rights, etc...

	i'm settling for pizza, burgundy, and early into the sack w/ another glass and a half-decent book to precipitate a sudden and exquisite descent into total slumber

	i should admit too, that by my logic, it's hard not to see a future iraqi terrorist-action as being something like the malcom x proverbial "chickens coming home to roost" - societies as a whole take the brunt of the blowback their often dipshit leaders provoke - it ain't right, but then i doubt most of the folks in hiroshima had any say on the pearl harbor plan...

	i assume you say this b/c you are a 9/11 conspiracy-type guy? hard to understand it any other way...

	so, the people of afganistan should have in no way been held responsible for the cock-suckers they, as a nation, provided aid and comfort to? i'll grant you the taliban were hardly elected, but nonetheless, they were the government at the time, and that government knew what them saudi-boys were all about. iraq, on the other hand...

	sounds like the first offer you make on a used car, ya know? shoot for the stars off the bat, then be ready to compromise down to what you can live w/... anyhow, yeah, each party retreats to it's basic approach - democrats since fdr have figured most problems can be solved via the ABC approach, republicans by keeping boys from kissing and giving rich folks more money...
- 
	why do you ask questions you know the answer to? there's a bell curve to be wrought from my contributions no doubt, and cock-references are probably well w/n the first standard deviation? a fascinating study for my twilight years, no doubt...

	kind of like running 1 trillion dollar deficits every year. it will all just "work out" seems to have worked for reagan! republicans could solve the debt problem right now by simply holding a fundraiser/raffle to allow some lucky member of the party to suck his moldy cock
- 
	historically, the two parties have taken turns being assholes, no, so i'm sure the pendulum will come on swinging back eventually?

	my seniors happen to be reciting the preamble today! “We the People of the United States, (1) in Order to form a more perfect Union, (2)establish Justice, (3)insure domestic Tranquility, (4)provide for the common defense, (5)promote the general Welfare, (6) and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” item 5 can of course be used to justify a good many programs that republicans rail against...
