"B2431" wrote in message ... From: "tim gueguen" And bombing people is not a war crime. tim gueguen 101867 It is if the target has no tactical or strategic or other legitimate value. Bombing Libya at that time was of legitimate value in that it convinced Qadaffi to reduce his terrorist support. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Osma used the same reasoning. |

Gee, I wonder what the Pan Am bombing over Lockerbie had to do with
terrorism? That was the work of the Iranians to retaliate for the Mecca pilgrimage Airbus that was downed by Vincennes. But the US did not dare to target Iran again because of the embassy raid fiasco and singled out Libya, a much weaker country. |

Considering two Libyan Intel Agents were tried, one convicted, and that Khadafy has admitted Libya's involvement and is paying into a compensation fund for the families, I'd say Libya was fully and completely responsible.

SMH Why anyone would listen to anything Chomsky (a notorious apologist for Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Slobodoan Milosevic, Fidel Castro, among others) is something I'll never understand. Chomsky doesn't belong at MIT, he belongs in Federal Prison on Aid and Comfort to the Enemy charges at least, and Treason at most.

Steve asked about Carter:
That's why he wasn't re-elected and was so unpopular with his countrymen? Carter was probably "Too" ethical to make a good politician and ineffective with his foreign policy and domestic issues. IMHO Carter got elected as backlash from the Nixon era BS and failed to get returned to office due to things like the Iranian Hostage fiasco and economic home front issues. Oxmoron1 MFE |

No it isn't. Good post 'til the last bit. That was sarcasm - I didn't think it needed highlighting. Fair enough. The point is that the extent of the "evil" associated with being a "sponsor of terror organisations" (or whatever happens to be the hip term at the moment) is totally dependant on the alignment of those terror organisations relative to the political beliefs of the person(s) making the call. Right, just wait while I go get my dictionary.. :-) Rgds B |
