so you are willing to throw out everything i just said just because I said "high likely"?
To me precedence, just like in a court of law (sp?) warrants a statement such as "highly likely", america has tradition of profiting or advancing from inflicting pain, struggle, control suffering. This particluar become apparent in times of war; that is when you see how ruthless america can be. Additionaly, happenings like the Tuskegee exp, agent orange in vietnam, gulf war syn, etc stand as proof. To me precedence warrants that statement, that is who america has shown herself to be....
