Bob2 you remind me a lot of Hutch 7.10 in your foolish refusal to understand the lessons of history. Also your reliance on vituperation and contumely as if this has any effect on the validity of your reasoning or the facts as they exist out in the world.

You haven't studied the Vietnam or Korean wars carefully enough, or the invasion of Grenada or Cuba or the Cuban Missile Crisis or the invasion of Ukraine and the annexation of the Crimea, if you don't accept as a simple truism the fact that foreign policy, mainly wars, has always been a tool for dealing with domestic problems.

This is how we ended up in a Civil War.

I think it is you who are smoking something and I ask you to please stop blowing it up the collective behind of the board's resident idiot, Hutch 7.23, by even responding to his comments or addressing him directly.
