Mike Moore Sin #1: Self-Serving WTC Dead Class Warfare (very despicable).

Here I felt sure he was about to pull a Pat Robertson fundamentalism thing, 
which he essentially did, but then he pulled a sharp left:  Post-Cold War 
Retro-Vision.  Hard to argue with real past sins, but let's ask ourselves a 
very basic question:  Should the US have unilaterally disengaged from the 
"Cold War?"  Would that have produced a better NOW?

>We propped up the Shah of Iran when maybe we shouldn't have. We have used 
>the poor of the world to make our goods so we can make a profit when maybe 
>we shouldn't..."

And now the majority of Iran wishes to shed itself of the last revolution.  
And Iran may yet prove to be our best ally in this region.  How ironic a 
teacher is time, god love her.

Love,
David Morris
