re: #126 Cato the Elder

American or American-financed boot-leather kicking in your teeth doesn’t taste like a “mistake”. It tastes like boot-leather.

All I’m saying is that acknowledging and owning up to our sometimes ginormous “mistakes” should not be the taboo that it apparently is with some people, nor raise their hackles to the extent it does.

I have no problem admitting to the things we did wrong. I just dislike hearing that the US and USSR were moral equivalents during the Cold War because I think that is ridiculous.

If that wasn’t your point with the “mirror image” comment then we don’t disagree.
