Kent,

You have no more "proof" of your argument, than I do of mine, and Hegelian Dialectic has nothing to do with either.  I am well familiar with some of Hegel's writings. It still will not solve anything.

I do share some of your suspicions,  and there is no doubt in my mind (but again, I have no proof either),that the US government has "created" enemies and scapegoats.  The thought is even more frightening to me, because it represents a complete world domination by an evil machine...it is indeed a slippery slope. But...it is still conjecture, my friend, that is all.  I will not necessarily change my mind, and don't expect you to change yours, BUT I will do as you suggest, and read the recommended passages (Google or elsewhere), because, as the old saying goes.."mind, like parachute will only work (they don't always work), when open"..or something to that effect. 

I don't need to "Peace out"though....life is not peaceful, at least mine isn't,anyways.  I am not angry..if that is what you were suggesting, just trying to discuss an issue, and peaceful agreement is not always part of such discussion.
