Timm,
A few questions:
1) Secrets: Do you honestly believe that the accurate facts about US involvement in Iraq have been provided to the American people?
2) Change: Can an uninformed populace effect change?
3) Does lying to the citizens lead to informed "consent of the governed", or does it lead to "falling in line and marching goose-stepped behind the leader"?
4) Is a "war of choice" really hell or just the likely outcome of one's own leader's creation?
5) Do you think Nixon's foreign policy decisions were successful? If so, explain the helicopter evacuations from Vietnam.
6) Is the full price of a book more important than the full price of blood being paid for inept decisions?
7) Where are the emperor's clothes?
That's enough for now. I have a few more but I'll wait a while (pun intended).
