Not defending anyone. Don't really care.

Right or wrong, what happened 8 years ago is no longer a concern to me. There's simply no changing it.

I'm not defending Bush. I'm just telling you that the reality is that a US president is not going to be prosecuted for war crimes. You can forget about it, and so can Chris Matthews. The only difference between you and Matthews and you on this issue is that you really believe it, and he's saying it to get TV ratings.

When I was a young man I fantasized about Nixon and Johnson dying in prison for the lies they told us. I now have the perspective of seeing that didn't happen.

I see ... so if we continue to let U.S. presidents go after wars they conducted for no more purpose than of fullfilling their destiny ... especially republican presidents who still want revenge for Libs winning WWII and republican presidents still trying to get revenge for Viet Nam ... ths is okay with you ... is this what you're saying ?

So what you're saying is, if you belong to an elite club, you're excused?

The reporting on News is not to report what people want to hear ... like Fox News. They will tell you anything you want to hear.

I didn't say it was okay. I've just been around long enough to see that's the way it is. I appreciate your passion on the subject, I've just grown somewhat realistic and pessimistic.

To answer your first question, sadly, yes.

All the news on TV, pick your channel, is not there to inform you. It is there to appease you, get ratings and make a profit. The people that produce this crap are howling with laughter that there are places like this where people seriously debate it.

How'bout this reality ... the right-wing hasn't dealt with reality since Hoover ... they deal in idealogues & demogogues known as conservative core principles ... to this day ... just like Hitler/Stalin/Mao and every other historical despot ...

And the last questions would be, why would we ignore the above two questions?

You can run from the questions, but they will not go away.

So you agree he is a socialist black man who has no BC.

Nice to see you have wised up some, but I doubt it's very long lived.
