"We" doesn't compute. I used the term "we" as in "nation", not "we" meaning you or I. "We" won WW11.

No argument. But I still can't quite believe that "we" as a country deserve grief due to the immoral actions of some individuals. Edmund Burke made that very point, as did one of my favorite mentors, Albert Jay Nock, in "The Myth of a Guilty Nation." Otoh, Jefferson agreed with your point when he said somewhere (beware: quotation from memory :-) ), "I tremble for my country when I consider that God is just."

Meanwhile, I hope you caught that Wilson dissent linked above. You were, after all, the one who remembered it :-) I'd never seen it, but a friend dug it out after you mentioned it.
Same friend wonders if you could find that illegal Greer order to deny Terri oral hydration and nutrition? You have a knack for finding things.
