Well, since the overthrow of the Taliban/al-Qaeda occupation regime in
Afghanistan is the only instance in my life where I've supported US military
force, to say that I'm, in essence, a "defender" of US imperialism overall
is horseshit, but typical coming from the likes of Carrol, who lends his
name to a pro-Milosevic petition, meaning that, assuming he read the thing,
he agrees with the stated notion that Milosevic is a Serbian patriot, as are
the military forces that operated under his command.

In other words, Carrol's support for this thug is direct, and therefore he
approves of the mass graves Milosevic is responsible for. Why else would he
publicly lend his name to such a petition?

I do not ideologically back the Bush gang any more than I ideologically
backed the Vietnamese Communists, whose overthrow of the Pol Pot regime was
the other use of state military force I've supported. But I notice I've
never been criticized for holding this latter position. Wonder why . . .
