    HUH?  You get your political opinions from people with whom you  are
about to argue?  Hope the lifestyle comes together, earthling.

    I'll grant  you  one  aggressive  campaign,  the  1982  invasion  of
Lebanon.   Some "pattern."

    I  always  quote  what  I  respond to.  Are you repudiating your own
postings, merely claiming that  any  particular  paragraph  conveys  the
opposite of what you mean, or what?  Feel free to say I quote you out of
context.  If so, I'll happily (more or less) see the context improve.  I
enjoy  contradicting  you, but if you make it impossible that's okay.  I
won't lie just to dispute you.  Will  your  soul  permit  you  the  same
scruples?
    Okay, please show evidence for the things you say.   Kindly  specify
what you say, while you're at it.

	By the way, my soul is very healthy and strong, thank you.

    Glad to hear it - freshly butchered history must be nourishing.
