...liberalism insists we judge him for his swell intentions...
Whew! Good thing I'm not a 'liberal', otherwise I might be insulted. And since when are you suddenly concerned about consequences? Oh, right... five years ago.
I guess you forgot about sarcasm. It was a rip-off of an old National Lampoon bit. And I do remember the old 'clickers' which were actually piezoelectric crystals.
Yeah, well, try to explain that math to your kid when the bulb burns out in her Easy Bake oven, or the countless other schlubs up north who now have to build a fire under their engines to keep the oil warm.
With Khomeini they certainly did. The Shah's death was expected, and they needed somebody to put in to keep the commies out. The hostage deal was just PR addon, if not revenge for George Bush being fired from the CIA.. Lenin? I'm sure he was getting help from somebody. Heh, turns out to be that same old bunch that the CIA/NSA/DEA/FBI/etc.. actually serve today. There's just nothing new these days *sigh*
Please note the major economic issue here (and that's what really counts) is that markets are saturated, in both labor and product. Destabilization, panic, and "crises" are needed to keep prices and the entire market empire from collapsing completely. Social and economic stratification are becoming harder to sustain. So, we need this perpetual warfare. There is every reason to play both sides. It's for our own good.
When I see the earnings of company officers reflect these "losses", I will believe they have meaning. For now it's just the value of the brand, and the money moves from one brand to another, temporarily more profitable one. These are Wall Street games, market manipulation.
There's no such thing as "US" tech companies.. They're all multi-national. In fact, for them "nations" don't exist at all. It's just banks and factories, located wherever they find the most benefit to the portfolio.
the only reason Russia's communist government fell was because we outspent them....
Wrong. The reason the Soviet union fell is because they lost control of their mass media when Ted Turner marched in with his satellite dishes in the middle 80s. Government propaganda fell to Charmin bathroom tissue and Ivory Soap, and of course to Dallas and Mork and Mindy.

No, let's go with a general Bush-blame.
No no! It's Wilson! He did it.
You had to be there

There's a standard response to that. Know what it is?
Are we still at war?
Yep. After the landing the following year, not much happened, except TV sets don't weigh so much anymore..
You're a mean one, Mister Grinch..

It's also not uncommon for them to attempt a takeover from "beyond your reach", especially with a little help from their "friends".
...power struggle involving the Turkish PM and a Turkish Imam currently residing in the US.
Has all the trappings of a coup attempt. William J. Donovan would be proud of what his creation has become.
Now that the Post is *owned* by the CIA...
How did the world warm up and cool down before then?
Mount Tambora...
Sö whät?

I would hope they are careful enough to use the bcc list...
Yes, capitalism is communist. It is a collective. All value is derived solely from its cost/benefit ratio.
...the government's fault.
Which means it's the voters' fault.

They have lied to everyone about everything.
So do politicians, but they get reelected 95% of the time. People will believe anything. Of course that's not saying they're in their right minds.
I don't think the Chinese have the technology to fake a landing, so they had to do it for real.

We'll have to make a wood burning one and use toothpicks for fuel.
It worked for quadraphonic sound and AM stereo.
