In other words we can make one standard for us and another for them. We can set up principles for being against terrorist attacks when they are on us, and ignore those principles when they are on others. Sounds like hypocrisy to me.

If one considers our respective wars one in the same, then I would agree with you 100% that it would be hypocritical. But as I've stated before, I don't see these situations as equivalent.

Well, too bad, because he's right. We should be ashamed of the hypocrisy of our government. And I'd say considering how two faced our government is being he was a lot nicer about it than I would be.

I don't like him, or trust him, or really care what he has to say.

And as for the 9-11 attacks, we still don't know all who assisted in the attack. Really?

IMHO, yes. I consider those who had prior knowledge of the attacks and used it as a profiteering opportunity "assisting". How `bout you?

Hmm. Well, don't keep me in suspense here who do you think its going to be??????

Like the great Alfred Hitchcock, I appreciate the importance of allowing the suspense to build. ;o)

But you've never stated a single argument as to why they are not. And unless you can do so adequately then you are a hypocrite.

I don't like him (Netanyahu), or trust him, or really care what he has to say.

This is nothing but ad hominem argument. Whether you feel you can "trust" Netanyahu has nothing to do with the morality of endorsing a country defending itself against the Bin Ladens that wish to attack it. If Netanyahu said 2+2=4 he would still be right whether you "trust" him or "like" him not wouldn't he?

yes. I consider those who had prior knowledge of the attacks and used it as a profiteering opportunity "assisting". How `bout you?

Who ARE you talking about?
