Hi David,
I'm afraid I must disagree with you and Mr. Scheer.
This nation has been occupied by hostile forces since 11/22/63 -- or even earlier, it may be argued.
As a matter of physical and political survival, the true rulers of all nations must, from time to time, demand that their citizens commit -- actively and/or passively -- acts of barbarism against the citizens of other nations and against themselves.
America is no exception.
I give you Gettysburg and Wounded Knee and My Lai and Kent State.
For starters.
Charlie

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
