@trndny05:


You leftists are all exercised about waterboarding.


So you will have no complaints when waterboarding is
used against Americans?




Let's start with chrissie.

But look at what US
allies did to civilians in Hamburg during WWII:

"Oxygen starvation and carbon monoxide poisoning killed many;
bomb shelters turned into ovens and roasted the persons
inside, so that rescue workers days later found the bodies
seared together in an indistinguishable mass; the molten
asphalt of the streets engulfed those who fled the burning
buildings."

And then there are the nuclear bombs that Dem Prez Truman used against
the civilian population of Japan.



And then there was Reagan ordering battleships to shell
entire neighborhoods in Beirut and ordering US bombers to
attack civilians in Libya. But that doesn't count because
he is a Republican, right?

Why are conservatives so ignorant when it comes to history?

reality of Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, and the whole Second
World War. 2/18/02.
