An unconditional prejudice against any opinion from a given source
that overrides consideration of the opinion on its own merits is not a
strong basis for credibility.


You're a proven idiot.

So is it your opinion that had the US not sworn to protect Western

I don't know. Would the US have attempted to take over Warsaw Pact
countries if the USSR had not been protecting them?

Good grief.

Mx has a point. The situation was symmetrical, i.e. from their POV the
Warsaw Pact thought they were "protecting" themselves from an imminent
attack by NATO.


Really, you think so? I love revisionist history.

Almost as much as subjectivist history based on Marxian dialectic.

Apparently German schools are teaching the same type of relativistic
history ("There is no 'right' or 'wrong' -- just various shades of
gray") that American schools are starting to inflict on our kids.

Wolfgang is a free man today, and can believe whatever he wants,
precisely BECAUSE of what our parents and grandparents did for him.

But never again should we bail out an entire continent that won't stand on
it's own two feet.

Whenever I see ANYONE agreeing with a point that was posed by MX, I
can only conclude one thing. That person is MXed in the head.


I thought you were ignoring Anthony.

I see posts where someone replied to him.

F.,

Thanks for making me feel less alone.

And yes, I admit to being guilty of engaging in the OT posts, which is
a mistake. I'll try to work on it.

Matt,

Many trash his view, but nobody has the
courage to offer their own view.


Maybe it is because a decent view on this topic cannot be expressed in
the five or so sentences customary in a newsgroup post. Maybe it is
because this is an aviation group. Maybe it is because people can't be
bothered to pull the level of discussion from way, way down there at
the lowest possible intellectual level up to somewhere sensible.
