Both Folly & $$$ - Giving aid and comfort to enemies is standard for the White House

US Government has a history of forgetting the war crimes of its enemies, for its own future gains. In fact Bush is following the actions of a long list of Bunglers, both presidents and US state dept. heads.

(1) After WWI US govt. led by Hoover sent emergency food to europe after their civil war. If not millions of children would die of starvation.

(2) " The Secret Marshall Plan" At the end of WWII, the American government, administered by Allen Dulles, extended an open warm to many of the German scientists and military leaders who helped develop Hitler's top weapons (the V I, the V-II, the first jet-engined airplane, etc.). Among them were the doctors who performed live experiments on Jews in the concentration camps and generals whose men killed US soldiers.

If you don't believe me, check the stories surrounding the advent in the US of Mr. Werner von Braun, the inventor of the V II on www.wikipedia.org. BTW, the "V" stood for vengeance.

Most of these scientists were members of the Nazi party.

The scientists who performed the experiments mentioned should have been tried alongside the Nazi top in Neurenberg.

Instead, they got lofty positions, housing, passports, medical care and pensions paid by Joe taxpayer.

American Govt keeps calling islam a great religion and negotiating with the saudis on all fours. Perhaps the saudis what the UN to give more to the palestinians.

I doubt VP Cheney went to Israel on his recent tour of ME "governments". They finance Israel but also alienate or disassociate themselves in public as oft as possible.

JFK in 1951 " the only two areas where the US is not disliked is in Afghanistan & Israel", said on Meet The Press.

Despite the hundreds of billions Joe taxpayer has sent to the arab jungle, nothing has changed.
