 Excellent article . Doesn't go far enough . 
 Life during World War 2 was lousy .

 I want to be rich like Switzerland , not poor and 
 violence riden like Israel and its territories .

Churchill , The Second World War , Vol 6 , Triumph & Tragedy ,
 Book 1 , The Tide of Victory , Appendix C , p 712 ;
  Prime Minister to Foreign Secretary , 3 Dec. 44 :
   I put this down for the record. Of all the neutrals,
   Switzerland has the greatest right to distinction. 
   ...  She has been a democratic State, standing for freedom
   in self-defense among her mountains, and in thought, in
   in spite of race, largely on our side .
   ...  I was astonished at U.J.'s [ Stalin's ] savageness
   against her, ...
  Note : by "race" he means the different European tribes .


 We are embroiled in this war between religions , that other
 opiate of the masses and organizer of armies , very largely
 because of our own violation of the wisdom of separation of
 Church and State expressed in the first clause of the first
 amendment .  
 
 Our TAKEN tax MONEY has been sent to these theocracies over
 the years .  Largely to buy arms . 

 We therefore have lost any claim to moral high ground .

 Saddam has been and must be further Castro-ated . 

 So why are we not pressing for UN monitored elections 
 there if they want to democratize Iraq ?
