I enjoyed the art, and seeing that its in art culture rather than political opinion I WOULD have digg it, but the political content is too strong. Therefor, I cannot Digg this "propaganda"Even though I agree with most of those views.So buried for wrong topic.
I can address a bit about WW2, having read a lot about it by some of the best revisionist historians of our time. Pearl harbor was invited in many ways. We provoked and teased the japanese into war in order to go to war with germany.Beyond that, Dr. Paul states often that he agrees with that decision to go to war with the japanese and the germans. In fact there is a youtube clip of a news interview where he is grilled on his stance with each war/occupation we've been involved in and states clearly that he WW2 is the only recent war he thinks we should have been involved in. But responding to the attack isn't what is in question. The question is why they attacked us in the first place. I strongly recommend reading Flemings "The New Dealers' War". The evidence he compiles completely destroys all the protectionist history that has built up around that event. Your answer is in that and other such books.Finally, to fully discredit your statement about his disconnect with reality, Ron Paul did not in fact say all our wars are based on lies. Watch the video again. He qualifies that idea with an 'Almost'.Your lack of rigor made you reject his correct ideas too quickly and let you continue to hold a naive position with statements like "Wars have been based on misjudgments and misperceptions, but not lies." That is nonsense and can easily be disproved by reading books like the one I mention above. I hope you will.
I prefer being in a bad position now, knowing that I will be out of it soon, that being a bit better but knowing that the worst is yet to come and is going to be long.I dont consider the US is in a better position now. Just not feeling all the pain... yet.
Digg this down and you will show your true colors - that you are an enemy of peace and that you don't share hold a belief in the goodness that humanity is capable of.
