re: #28 Destro

Keep trying, but your words are there for anyone who wishes to follow the link, read what you actually wrote and draw their own conclusions. As for who and what I support, my position is clear. I support any person of any political party whose positions on the issues that are important to me most coincide with my own views. Sometimes those politicians are liberal Democrats, sometimes they are conservative Republicans. I vote, and have voted for many decades, on the issues, not on some meaningless claptrap cliche such as “right-wing kookery” or “left wing communist”.

And when it comes to issues of Middle Eastern affairs, I come to my views after decades of academic study and life experience, not based on some antisemitic notion that the Israeli government, acting through its lobby in the United States (that would be the Amish, right?), got us to invade Iraq — on the contrary, as others and I pointed out, despite your blindness to the facts, Israel’s leadership warned the U.S. not to topple Saddam — and is now pushing us to attack Iran “for their own agenda” and in opposition to American interests.
