So that’s two thirds? One third birthers, the other third truthers? The 2% who believe both are probably the far right.

Yes, but a good chunk of that 1/3rd don’t think that Hawaii is in the United States, so the confusion is forgiveable.

Or know where Europe is…

Why did we ever want to stand “shoulder to shoulder” with the likes of George W Bush and his friends in the Project for the New American Century?

Proper sympathy for the victims of 9/11 is one natural dimension, especially by Londoners who experienced the bombing of London in WW2, but consider the other perspectives:

The mainstream view of much of America in September 1941 was reflected in the speech of Charles Linbergh, the pioneering aviator, at Des Moines, Iowa, on 11 September 1941.

“The three most important groups who have been pressing this country [America] toward war [WW2] are the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration.”

The distinguished American journalist and historian, William Shirer, wrote this about the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, 7 December 1941:

“My own impression in Washington at that moment was that it might be difficult for President Roosevelt to get Congress to declare war on Germany. There seemed to be a strong feeling in both Houses as well as in the Army and Navy that the country ought to concentrate its efforts on defeating Japan and not take on the additional burden of fighting Germany at the same time.” [The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, chp. 25]

On the Iraq war:

“WASHINGTON (CNN) — Nearly $9 billion of money spent on Iraqi reconstruction is unaccounted for because of inefficiencies and bad management, according to a watchdog report”

Try this Secret memo of 23 July 2002, which circulated among senior ministers and civil servants in Britain about the forthcoming war with Iraq which somehow got leaked:

Quote:

“C [that's the head of MI6, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service] reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.”

The final sentence is absolutely damning: “the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy”

And the last straw:

“A British film about Charles Darwin has failed to find a US distributor because his theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer.”

“too extreme” for what?

Extreme Sports?

Extreme Dreams

Extreme fis[censored]

Extreme ways are back again
Extreme places I didn’t know
I broke everything new again
Everything that I’d owned
I threw it out the window; came along
Extreme ways I know will part the colors of my sea
perfect colored me

Extreme ways they help me
They help me out late at night
Extreme places I had gone
That never seen any light
Dirty basements, dirty noise
Dirty places coming through
Extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned?
