Lawrence, surely you remember what the Islamic terrorists did from 1982 to 1989 in
Afghanistan.
Early in his article, (George Schultz) describes our passive phase, during
which we largely ignored Islamist assassinations and terrorist activities.
This "statement" is staggering in duplicity. It's not merely a lie. It's a complete
whitewash of history. Schultz is not merely lying about the Islamic Jihad, nor about the
USSR, but about his own administration. He was Secretary of State for Ronald Reagan. He knew
perfectly well what was going on.
"We made no serious response to any of these bloody assaults."
Really? The Reagan administration, which included Schultz, funded, supported, directed, and
encouraged Islamic assassination and terrorist activities.

Look, you'll now insist that I have to read Schultz's document, and if I don't, you'll say
that I don't know what I'm talking about. Lawrence, you're selecting writers who are trying
to rewrite history, even things that we remember personally.
Really, Lawrence, you don't remember what Reagan and Casey did in Afghanistan?
You don't remember any of that yourself?
