That is why he mentions paragraph six, but the basic premiese is the same and I agree with both of you. <BR/><BR/>Bill Corcoran, editor of CORKSPHEREBill Corcoranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254365388953871271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578278693854789592.post-27357392450346280892008-05-06T13:46:00.000-05:002008-05-06T13:46:00.000-05:00Spike: Thanks for taking time to comment and such...Spike: Thanks for taking time to comment and such an excellent comment it is. <BR/><BR/>Along the same lines, here is what a very good friend of mine just sent me by e-mail:<BR/><BR/>Dear Bill:<BR/> <BR/> Although I reject the basic premise associated with state violence -- in answer to your narrower question in the sixth paragraph, "what is a victory in Iraq going to look like?" clearly, a "victory" in Iraq means the defeat of the invader - occupier, the withdrawal of 100 percent of its forces (the permanent bases and embassy included), sufficient reparations paid for the material and human damages triggered by the invasion - occupation, and, last, a trial before a duly constituted international tribunal of those political leaders who bear the greatest responsibility for the crime of launching this war of aggression in the first place.<BR/> (Feel free to circulate my response to whomever you like.)<BR/> <BR/>David PetersonBill Corcoranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254365388953871271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578278693854789592.post-21254720915236198742008-05-06T11:48:00.000-05:002008-05-06T11:48:00.000-05:00What "price" have these lice at the head of our go...What "price" have these lice at the head of our government paid?<BR/>The price was paid by our kids as the inept and avaricious politicians showed themselves to be traitors to all of us People.<BR/><BR/>So now what?
