@Lustig Andrei,
Quote:Is there some confusion in your mind between governments and the people they govern, JTT?
Government of the people, by the people, for the people, Merry. You can't pick and choose, though you sheeple always do. You stroke your egos with flights of fantasy about what a grand system of governance you have when the facts show you have crap.
Quote: The average Syrian citizen hated its own government a lot more than it hated/distrusted the US government.
The average Syrian didn't know just what US governments are capable of. Many were like the multitude of ignorant Americans.
Quote:(For the record, I believe the actions of the US government in attacking Lybian targets at that point in time were fully justified.)
The "precision" one would expect from a former newspaper guy is sorely lacking, Merry.
The US rarely does anything that is justified.
