Yes, as opposed to abnormal trading which we only do with nations like
Israel and Saudi Arabia. No one can figure out exactly why we give them
arms but we do.

Exaggerates? No, the righties are all over charging Kerry for treason and
were all over Clinton for the China missile technology thing.

Isn't that releated to arms AND software? Anything? Hell, could be

Beaten back? You mean like Nixon's carpet bombing? I thought those areas
were cleared as a way to allow the drug traffickers to exploit the Golden
Triangle for helping us out in Indochina? You know Air America and all
that?

Well show me a middle class president that has been elected
in the past 50 years? Truman was actually the last regular person elected
as president.

If we were a true demcocracy them we would have had had a female
president and a minority president.

The tinfoil defense in your case is not only disingenious but lazy.
