Nobody says Truman won WW II; he was just in power when it was over.<br /><br /> On the other hand, some say the Truman Doctrine made the Cold War inevitable. Likewise, Reagan's funding of the Iraqis and the <i>mujahadeen</i> in Afghanistan made possible this current mess.<br /><br /> To be fair, the severity of this current mess has much more to do with GWB being a complete screwup than with Reagan making the first bad moves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-13970167507837634182006-12-30T20:07:00.000-05:002006-12-30T20:07:00.000-05:00Especially because my last name is Crawford and I ...Especially because my last name is Crawford and I have nothing, absolutely nothing to do with that whatever in TX.Caminantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610142955176992982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-66233046733447458182006-12-30T16:26:00.000-05:002006-12-30T16:26:00.000-05:00Okay, Reverenda, that's more like it!

I'll accept the Crawford tornado as a message from God, but, I must admit, why should everyone else in Crawford suffer just because Dubya angered the Lord? I'm glad they evacuated those cute scottish terriers.Padre Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580459577853346369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-25305163559997095952006-12-30T16:01:00.000-05:002006-12-30T16:01:00.000-05:00At the same time that the news of Hussein's execut...At the same time that the news of Hussein's execution was breaking last night (22.37 EST), there was a crawler on the BBC announcing that Dubya, his family and dogs had been evacuated from the ranch for tornado warnings. I am surprised he didn't take to flying around the way he did on 9-11-01.Caminantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610142955176992982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-51224906188151684952006-12-30T14:46:00.000-05:002006-12-30T14:46:00.000-05:00Well Leonardo, I'd be more inclined to think the e...Well Leonardo, I'd be more inclined to think the earthquake was a message from God if it had struck the Green Zone or the White House. <br />I once met a Baptist minister here who told me that the reason they have so many earthquakes in Costa Rica is because the people there were doing evil. I told him that if doing evil was the reason earthquakes exist the entire planet would be shaking like a plate of jello 24/7! He didn't think I was funny.Padre Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580459577853346369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36914208.post-13706872435262672662006-12-30T12:41:00.000-05:002006-12-30T12:41:00.000-05:00I have written a longer response at Fr Jake's plac...I have written a longer response at Fr Jake's place so all I will say here is:<br /><br />We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done and the evil done on our behalf.<br /><br />May God have mercy on us all.Caminantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610142955176992982noreply@blogger.com
