Dave, you’re right –wars have been around since mankind –whatever makes him fight and whatever enabled the slow-running naked ape to survive, is probably the same thing. And through it all, competition for scarce resources has been the bone of contention. Blood for food, blood for tomorrow, blood for life, is what it amounts to. But what do we know. Someday the ‘no blood for oil’ people might figure out who they’re working fer –probably as they walk up the steps to the noose.

MF/84; re your Clinton used the prolonged distraction of the WACO mess to replace EVERY SINGLE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR that was within his legal authority to appoint or relieve –that was 93 Reagan and BushI appointees (plus 3 or 4 of his own, who’d been biting strippers and choking reporters and such).

Later, when BushII fired all of 8 of Clinton’s some 124 appointments –for actual clear dereliction (sandbagging ‘certain’ investigations) –well you’d have thought he’d been caught in bed with Lucifer. It actually ended Alberto Gonzales’ career and he was damn lucky they didn’t find a way to execute him.

And you’re right, what a prince of a guy that Bill Clinton is –no wonder they idolize him. feh.
