Oliver Stone (was:Pauper and Sweatshop Fallacies)

i see, conditional surrender with unacceptable conditions.  anyway,
interesting thread, both here and the DU thread...

also, the GR point, i think, is more of a MIRV (isn't that the old
multiple warhead missile acronym) with a bunch of prongs, like
reminding us of the existence and thriving of the merchant-of-death
class as a causative factor in these wars, of the increasing
disconnect between "modern war" and anything like "a meaningful fight
between conscious participants in opposing factions" when aerial
bombardment of any kind comes into play, of the changes in
consciousness including (but not limited to) a loss of moral certainty
in all the players, a thriving of black markets, and somewhat of a
relish for the details of the actual workings even of instruments of
destruction - even while retaining a sense of horror at their use, so
that whatever stance you take on the necessity of Hiroshima's and
Nagasaki's destruction - it really doesn't matter what you think, you
couldn't stop it, it was horrible horrible horrible, and even despite
your, my, our uniqueness and so forth - it could happen to any one, or
even all of us - even me?  oh yes indeed !!!!!
