   That's simply not true.  Just look at the follow-up I posted to   
   bmoore's post, and you will be embarrassed to see how it contradicts   
   your statement.   
      
   I wrote in part:   
      
     Remember your bully tactics to silence messengers of message that is   
     not in sync with the mainstream:   
      
       On 24 March 2013, around the time of the ten (10) year anniversary   
       of George Bush' coldly calculated invasion of Iraq that caused   
       enormous destruction to the country and enduring suffering to its   
       people, there was a series of posts on the subject addressing   
       exactly the same issue that Dennis Kucinich has again brought out   
       this week.  In this series, bmoore wrote:   
        ">Given your defense of not only Saddam, but Kadaffy and the   
         >North Korean monsters, you deserve to have the shit beaten out   
         >of you."   
      
     And when I asked the question:   
       Why did so many Iraqis have to die because Saddam was "such a   
       monster".  Indeed, "monster" to whom? Re: If Saddam was "such a   
       monster" and had caused so much "carnage" when Tony Blair decided   
       to go to war with G W Bush, then why did they have to resort to   
       the monster WMD lie?   
      
   Instead of providing an answer, notice bmoore's attempt to incite   
   physical violence on an indivudal:   
      
     "... you deserve to have the shit beaten out of you."   
      
   You can see in more details below how I wrote my response.  I do quote   
   sometimes - whenever I believe supportive evidence is called for.   
   That's called scholarship.  Also it is for persuasion - not   
   necessarily for bmoore, but for the general readership.  But I never   
   reply merely because I want to argue with bmoore; I use my reply to   
   bring in more information so that some of my readership can benefit   
   from reading my post.   
      
   As for your pal bmoore, he incited violence against me for asking how   
   anyone can use "Saddam was a monster" as an excuse to kill hundreds of   
   thousands of Iraqi people, especially when Iraq wasn't attacking any   
   other country.  There can be no weaker argument than one that incites   
   violence against a poster, don't you agree?

   You don't need to pretend.  Look at what you wrote...   
      
     "Saddam was a monster, no question"   
      
     ">Given your defense of not only Saddam, but Kadaffy and the North   
      >Korean monsters, you deserve to have the shit beaten out of you."   
      
   They are nothing but Bushisms!   
      
   Your modus operandi has always been so apparent and your villains seem   
   to have always coincided with the neocons' monsters du jour....  (You   
   know G W Bush's by-now-infamous antics of "fixing the intelligence to   
   serve his neocon masters' policy"?  You know that the neocons were   
   keeping quiet about Qaddafi and Assad until they were ready to take   
   them on?)  Yet you only characterized your "opposition to the Iraq   
   war" as something that is not "worth it", as if there was any virtue   
   about dropping tons of bombs on Iraq and bringing it back to the stone   
   age (entirely aside from killing 4500 American soldiers and maiming tens   
   of thousands more, for life).   
      
   Paul O'Neill, G W Bush's own treasury secretary for his first term and   
   Richard Clarke, the White House anti-terrorism czar since Bill   
   Clinton's time both revealed that the Bush team was actively working   
   on the invasion of Iraq from the first days while ignoring the defense   
   of this country, despite repeated warnings from the intelli community.   
      
   The Bush White House's preoccupation with attacking a distant country   
   while neglecting the safeguarding of the country he was entrusted to   
   defend was a high crime.  It cannot be simply dismissed as a venture   
   that wasn't worth taking.  It was deliberate deception.  People who   
   use the term "not worth it" to describe the Bush crime are   
   whitewashing his crime.
