My point, to be clear , is that our own sh*t is just as suspect in these unfortunate shinanagans happening in Iraq and must be honetly taken into account if we are called on to make another buncjh of sacrifices that will once again put our kids in front of real guns and folks with exactly the same sort of determination to survice as has happened before. We need to be very carefull how we go about this - and in doing so by making sre that what we are doing will assit to mend the violence of our last effortS. That is all. Carry on.
You won't get an argumnet from me on that score.
But I don't understand what you mean about me 'splitting hairs' with regard to the Katyn Forest murders. Nazis may come in many disgises - and who can forget the "soup Nazi' on Seinfeld? - but, given the context of my post, it must have been obvious that the Nazis I was referring to were German Nazis supposedly acting under orders from above: i.e Hitler.
I am not denying or trying to downplay any of the attrocities committed by Hitler's Nazis, but in this particular case the facts are indisputable - unless you choose to believe Gorbachev was lying when he admitted it was Communists i.e the Red Army acting under instructions from Stalin who committed the attrocity.
