Does any of what you've said sound like all that has come out on US involvement since 9/11?

Think about it then think about who benefits from spreading this tripe.

It's the same Hate America Socialist/Communist crowd that it always was. Now they try to hide behind names like Progressives, Environmental Friends of the Word or some such other nonsense (damn Watermelons).

I just finished reading "Flyboys," by James Bradley (his second book after "Flags of our Fathers"). This story collects a good sum of Japanese military history from 1890-1945, while also telling the story of a half dozen Navy flyers sent to take out a WW II radio station on Chichi Jima. Among the lads is a young George H. W. Bush.
