*Did you miss the US violence in Iraq and elsewhere,
or did you find it in yourself to justify it ? I doubt
that either answer would disqualify you from being a
Hitler supporter if you had been living in Germany at
the time. Better minds than yours, like Heidegger,
did.

*I never said I was opposed to war in principle.
Neither are you. The difference between us is that one

attempt to think objectively on occasion, while the
other assumes the style and tone of a country parish
