You are a liar. I never posted a congratulatory message to the P-list
when the US started bombing and missile attacks. I was opposed ot USA
military action in Afghanistan on September 11th and my position has not
changed. This despite the fact that I lost family  and friends on
September 11th. Interesting isn't it, Doug bashes Robert J., a pacifist,
Thomas E., a pacifist, me, a pacifist, all because we don't agree with
him and we are discouraged and offended by  his militant rhetoric. Doug
will say we are not pacifists, because both Thomas and Robert supported
a limited military response, but he's wrong.  Me, I advocated a regional
solution to the mess and argued consistently that the USA should not
lead, fund, orchestrate, of otherwise organize a military action in the
region. I have consistently condemned USA military action in Iraq,
Yugoslavia, Africa, Afghanistan, Central America in this forum.  I
posted my position here and included the statements from  Bertrand 
Russell about how an absolute pacifism may not be the best approach to
all conflicts.  

You dragged me into this when I was ignoring your posts. 


You have been drooling at every possible bloody news story. Paul's
right, it's a turn on to you.  You have been screaming body bags and
body counts and 
dead babies and atrocities and the USA deserves this since September 11. 
You're no pacifist, You're nuts. And we are foolish to keep playing this
game with you. 
Why would a nice bunch of Pynchon reading people who are so obviously
liberal and left  want to be called fascist pigs, bush supports,
warmongers, neo-nazi holocaust deniers...by a man who is so in love with
war and death? A man so cynical he thinks he needs to fight with us
about bashing Chomsky. I see Doug dragging Robert into it now. First
Morris,  dismiss him as a stupid drunk, take a few shots at Paul, call
him an old man who sends young men like you( grow up and out of Vietnam
would you) to war, then calls me a Bush supporting fascist again, then
goes after Robert again and again. 

Go read a good book or something.
