I, as an America, have my point:

We are really, really screwed up.

Click here to see what I think of us.

Really people? We needed to dig up a six year old thread?

Actually, I was talking about America during Vietnam; which we caused solely because of a fear of communism.

so wait, you resurrected a six year old post, to make a totally unrelated plug for a quasi-philosphical argumentative site which seeks to analyze real world activities through the lense of Comic Book Metaphor, so you could make an un-demonstrated link between it and your one line belief about the vietnam war? Which of course is, near as I can tell, entirely unsupported, one sided, and not very well thought out...... Wait...... WHAT?!?!?

<---Lost and confused by randomness.... Please use simple logic in an A > B > C format please..... Logical "jumps" often times smack of unfounded beliefs....

And btw, the "article" that the OP linked to is, near as I can tell, unsupported drivel derived from originally, a series of inflammatory articles which in themselves were drivel derived from their authors pure beliefs with very minimal factual backing from such sources as one off News Paper articles from places of renowned journalism like the San Jose Gazette, and their own previous articles all published on the same website that touts itself as a "Book Review" website, all the while not reviewing, near as I can tell, a single book, but rather posting more drivel from people that just want to write inane supposition about what they think the "Truth" behind the correlation of the US and Torture was, is, or will continue to be..... Feel free to do your own digging.... Not exactly something I would recommend to anyone that was looking for something factually accurate to read, or anyone that was very gullible, or perhaps had ADD or an overactive imagination.....

OP's Article:
http://www.newwest.net/index.php/main/article/9930/
Just start googling the Listed "Sources" at the bottom, and they're ALL to be found here:
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archive ... tion=false

Can I ask this thread to be locked? This just seems silly to me..... If we want to talk about torture, the vietnam war, or anything else, I think we can find a better place to do it then an old thread that seems to have little bearing on the world, (Or indeed from the world), outside the little flickering boxes or screens were all reading....

The name Dan Mitreone comes to mind. Guess what he put in his diplomatic pouch?

Agreed. This is starting to get stupid.

Wish granted.

Anarbaculardrop, digging up a six year-old thread really is going too far and it would have been better if you'd made your point in a new thread, to stimulate new discussions with people who still visit WP.
