On the contrary, my friend.

I’ve repeatedly said that Clinton and Albright should be on trial for war crimes, along with Milosevic. (And Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice and, now, Powell.)

However, I wouldn’t include Clinton in GWBs “pedigree”, would you? I would consider Reagan and his father as in The Little Monkey’s.

Clinton didn’t unilaterally invade the countries, calling it “liberation”. What he did was no more moral, no more right, and it wasn’t quite the same as invading and looting in the name of Halliburton, et al. He also promised to rebuild the former Yugoslavia, and didn't.

Sorry. The hypocrisy belongs to the American conservatives, with or without Christianity in their background, those people who call killing “liberation", who call “looting” liberation, who try to justify their unspeakable cruelty as bringing “freedom”.

Now, as to my misuse of the freedoms which have been given to me. While badly damaged, it’s called the Bill of RIGHTS, not some gift from you and/or Bush. That's changing, I know, as fast as Ashcroft and Bush can do it, but for now it's still the Bill of RIGHTS. Tragic, isn't it, for conservatives that others have those RIGHTS.

To secure my RIGHTS, while it was entirely misguided, I did my duty for my country. I shot, mortared, fired grenades, and stabbed people. I was shot at, mortared, rocketed, and had grenades thrown at me. I saw people die, a lot of ‘em, and saw people not die and wondered who was the best off. I truly didn’t know any better, did the best I could at the time. Takes a bit of living down. A lot of living down. Some shames do not erase, some sins are not forgivable.

Now, I pay my taxes, vote, and mow my lawn.

Well, sweetheart, what have you done to deserve the freedom given to you, the freedom to bomb, kill, maim, destroy in the name of “liberation”, “freedom” and “democracy”? Besides talk.

I’m curious to know how someone like you can call someone like me a hypocrite. I may be, but to my knowledge you haven’t figured out how.
