Yes, sometimes history is inflammatory....but those who are allowed to forget history are forced to relive it....

Interesting to note...McKinley was another president to whom God spoke about killing..... I read about that in a book, copyright 1980 that I borrowed from my parents this weekend.

Another interesting passage from this book..."William Randolph Hearst was looking for a way to boost sales of his newspaper when he discovered Cuba. A war in Cuba would excite the public and would, in turn, create a great demand for newspapers. Late editions...extras...irresistable headlines. So Hearst sent the great Western painter, Frederic Remington to Cuba to get pictures of a "gallant revolution." Remington went but found there was no revolution. "Everything is quiet," he wired. "There is no trouble here. There will be no war. I wish to return." "Please remain," Hearst cabled back. "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."

There are three paragraphs in this that could be called "editorial", the rest are well documented facts.

To call someone a "moron" because you disagree with him??? Or you don't like the facts he relates????

And I'm curious...Richard, you seem to profess an intimate knowledge of the Iraqi people...who and what they are. Spend alot of time there? Known many Iraqis?

Just curious.....
